While Christians are bombarded with competing messages about the Christian faith, the Heidelberg Catechism speaks clearly. Its teaching on the gospel and Christian life is biblical, accessible, and pastoral. Its three-part structure of guilt (law), grace (gospel), and gratitude (sanctification) is framed by the comfort the Christian has in God alone.
In The Heidelberg Catechism, R. Scott Clark reflects on the catechism's theology, piety, and practice. This thorough yet accessible guide to the catechism comments on each of its 129 questions. Clark keeps the catechism's historical and theological context in view while highlighting its ongoing relevance. Clark shows how the catechism enlivens the Reformed Christian.
