The Heidelberg Catechism
The Heidelberg Catechism
Preface
The Heidelberg Catechism is a very important book for the
reformed churches, all over the world. It has been composed by
the outstanding theologians, called Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar
Olevianus. The intention of the book was to serve as a guidebook
for the spiritual education of everyone, the young and older peo- (Zacharias Ursinus)
ple, of the reformed congregations. That’s why the reformed con- (Caspar Olevianus)
gregations teached its older youth from this book since its avail-
ability for the congregations. Furtheron at the Reformed
Churches every Sunday afternoon it was preached on the basis of
this book one Lord’s Day. Besides this the questions and answers
of the Heidelberg Catechism can be taken as a dialogue between a
person who is well-experienced in spiritual life by God’s grace and
who is able to explain why he believes, what he believes and why
he expects what he expects from the Lord and which comfort this
expectation of the Lord gives him for his daily life. So everyone
can use it as a guidebook for his own spiritual life so that can be
avoided that anyone would deceive himself for eternity. My sincere
desire is that the Lord may also use this book to the welfare of
many Chinese persons, young ones and older ones, likewise the
Lord has done so many times in the past on the Western hemi-
sphere.
