The Heidelberg Catechism - Jj Lim - Bog

The Heidelberg Catechism is well-beloved by most believers who are convinced of the Reformed Faith, including those who subscribe to, prefer and memorise the Westminster Shorter Catechism. This was the original reason why this book was written in the first place. It was not intended as a commentary but as "an appreciation" for those who do not use it as a primary subordinate standard. Those who are looking for a fuller commentary may consider the one by the original author Ursinus, or the "Firm Foundation" by the presumptive co-author of the Catechism, Olevianus, or even the very useful contemporary study by G.I. Williamson. But if you are more familiar with the Westminster Standards, and would like to a quick introduction to the Heidelberg Catechism, which also deals with some of the differences between the two standards, this little offering may prove helpful.May our Lord Jesus Christ: "who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (HC 18) be exalted even a little by this feeble effort to promote the knowledge and love of Him.
