J. H. Heidegger (1633–98) was a significant Swiss Reformed theologian, in Zürich, at the end of the 17th century. This volume is a clear, accessible introduction to Reformed theology. It is not technical. It was meant to be a starting point and still serves that purpose. It is a good window into the basics of Reformed theology but also into the issues faced by the Reformed Churches in the period (some of which we continue to face). Heidegger was very clear about Reformed covenant theology, the gospel, and the Christian life.

You can learn more about him in this two part interview with Dr Ryan Glomsrud, who wrote the introduction to the present volume:

1. Recovering Our Reformed Past: On J. H. Heidegger With Ryan Glomsrud (pt 1)
2. Recovering Our Reformed Past: On J. H. Heidegger With Ryan Glomsrud (Part 2)
