The Heidelberg Catechism is a clear, simple and profound summary of Christian Doctrine that burns with the practical passion of a pastor's heart. Dr. Zacharias Ursinus was a gifted pastor-teacher who stood on the shoulders of three giants of the Reformation (Luther, Calvin and Mercier) and proclaimed the gospel in simplicity for children and in greater depth for university students. The Heidelberg Catechism has endured for 450 years and is still taught to children and adults around the world.
The Heidelberg Catechism provides the outlines and structure for our Heidelberg School.
- The Basic Course includes the questions, answers and Scripture texts that were taught to children and to new believers.
- The Advanced Course includes material and discussion provided for pastors and university students.
- Jump in wherever you want and you will be blessed.
One brief note about method and style:
On each of the following pages I quote the question and provide the answer as written by Dr. Ursinus or Dr. Olevianus. I then provide a simple outline that is drawn directly from the answer as written. Finally, I have included Scriptures that were referenced in the original text along with a few questions to stir up your thinking. Please feel free to add your own thoughts, observations or questions in the Comments section.
