	Catechism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catechisms are doctrinal manuals often in the form of questions followed by answers to be memorized, a format that has sometimes been used in non-religious or secular contexts as well.
		The catechism's question-and-answer format, with a view toward the instruction of children, was a form adopted by Protestant Christians almost from the beginning of the Reformation.
		These catechisms showed special admiration for Chrysostom's view of the family as a "little church", and placed strong responsibility on every father to teach his children, in order to prevent them from coming to Baptism or the Lord's Table ignorant of the doctrine under which they are expected to live as Christians.

	Heidelberg Catechism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Heidelberg Catechism is a document taking the form of a series of questions and answers, for use in teaching Reformed Christian doctrine.

		The manufactures of Heidelberg include cigars, leather, cement, surgical instruments and beer, but the inhabitants chiefly support themselves by supplying the wants of a large and increasing body of foreign permanent residents, of the considerable number of tourists who during the summer pass through the town, and of the university students.
		At an early period Heidelberg was a fief of the bishop of Worms, who entrusted it about 1225 to the count palatine of the Rhine, Louis I. It soon became a town and the chief residence of the counts palatine.
		Heidelberg was one of the great centres of the reformed teaching and was the headquarters of the Calvinists.

		If Heidelberg Catechism preaching is to be condemned on the ground that it sets aside God's Word, then all preaching will have to be regarded as man speaking to man, and not, as it is truly, God speaking to us through His servant.
		Heidelberg Catechism preaching is, therefore, the answer to the need of the day, for by it the Word of God in its fullness is preached.

	Covenant United Reformed Church - Kalamazoo, Michigan
		This use of the Heidelberg Catechism in preaching allows the preacher to cover all areas of Christian doctrine without neglecting any one area, and without placing too much emphasis on other areas of Christian doctrine.
		The Heidelberg Catechism is little more than an explanation of three documents: the Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer.
		Because of this, the Heidelberg Catechism has come to be widely used in Reformed churches the world over as an excellent summary of Christian doctrine and as a teaching tool for how we are to live the Christian life.

		The most ecumenical of the confessions of the Protestant churches, the Heidelberg Catechism bears the name of the capital city of the German state in which it was written.
		Thereafter the Heidelberg Catechism was more widely received and accepted by churches in other states and nations, and the praise accorded it probably exceeds that of any other statement of faith.
		In theological position, manner of presentation, and spirit, the Heidelberg Catechism retains its eminence as a statement of Christian faith, and its usefulness in Christian nurture and discipline is as great today as when it was written.

	Heidelberg Catechism and Homosexuality
		The list of sinners as presented in the Heidelberg lacks quotations marks and is considerably shorter than the one found in the Book of Confessions.
		The list of sinners given in their translation is not taken from the original text of the Heidelberg or any subsequent edition of the Heidelberg Catechism.
		For this reason, as the presbyteries take up the issue of sexuality and ordination and seek to be guided in their deliberations by Scripture and the confessions, it seems to us to be critically important that we are clear on what the confessions do and do not say about homosexuality and sin.

		The Christian Reformed Church in North America, in its study of Heidelberg Catechism Question and Answer 80, found significant deficiencies in the Catechism's description of the position of the Catholic Church.
		George Vandervelde of the CRCNA, after leading the Assembly through the logic of the Catechism on the Catholic Mass, raised the question whether the Catechism's misrepresentation amounted to false witness by the Reformed churches.
		However, since it may be that some Catholic practices still reflect the way the Heidelberg presents the teachings of the Mass, the CRCNA did not remove the wording, but will print it in a different font to show their misgivings about these statements.

		The authors designed catechisms to encourage the believer in his walk with the Lord, equip him to defend the Christian faith, enable him to distinguish between truth and error, nurture steadfastness in his personal faith, and summarize the teachings of the Bible.
		The Heidelberg Catechism was composed in Heidelberg, Germany, from 1559 to 1579 at the request of Elector Frederick III.
		For example, the catechism clearly maintained that the Protestants still held to the essential doctrines of the Trinity and the two natures of Christ as the Roman Catholics did, while also having held to the distinctively Protestant doctrine of the sole authority of the Bible.

	PCC, Heidelberg Catechism: Lord’s day 16, Questions 40 to 44
		This phrase, which did not appear in the earliest versions of the Creed, is variously interpreted by Reformed commentators.
		In the Westminster Larger Catechism (Q. 50), it is noted that the phrase refers to Christ’s “continuing in the state of the dead, and under the power of death, till the third day.” Here, in the Heidelberg Catechism, it is taken to refer to the intense suffering of Christ on the cross.
		Many Presbyterian ministers prefer this view, but as the phrase is not a biblical one, it does not really matter which view is adopted as long as we do not think that Christ literally descended into Hell.

		Caspar Olevianus, who is believed by many to have contributed to the framing of the Heidelberg Catechism, puts it well:
		Through all the Articles of Faith it has been demonstrated that everything necessary for our eternal salvation is in Jesus Christ and that He was not a partial but a complete Jesus, or Saviour, who fully accomplished everything necessary for our salvation.
		Therefore, whoever is grafted into Christ through a true faith has and possesses everything within that is necessary for salvation (A Firm Foundation: An Aid to Interpreting the Heidelberg Catechism [Paternoster Press, 1995], 108).
