Heidelberg Catechism Leatherette Version

The Heidelberg Catechism follows the pattern of the Epistle to the Romans. It opens with the question What is your only comfort in life and in death?, and then examines the realities of human sin and misery (Rom. 1-3:20); salvation in Christ, including faith and repentance (Rom. 3:21-11:36); and the Christian life of thankful obedience in response to God's grace in Christ (Rom. 12-16). The catechism stands as a faithful testimony to the ancient Christian faith in its scripturally derived shape and content, and further expressed in its exposition and application of the Apostles Creed, the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer.
