Coming In 2025: The Heidelberg Catechism: A Historical, Theological, & Pastoral Commentary

The Heidelberg Catechism: A Historical, Theological, & Pastoral Commentary (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2025) is available for pre-order now.

The original and irreplaceable commentary on the catechism was composed of lectures given by the catechism’s primary author, Zacharias Ursinus (1534–83) but over the centuries, Reformed people have found a need for other types of commentaries. Most are collections of sermons by pastors. Few, however, have put the catechism in its immediate and broader historical, social, and theological context while also addressing contemporary theological and pastoral issues. This new, 1000-page commentary is scheduled to appear later this year in hardcover and in a Logos Digital Edition.

  1. Out of curiosity, which translation do you use in the commentary? Is it the RCUS version, URCNA version, the version here on the Heidelblog, or a fresh translation from the original sources?

    • Joseph,

      I made my own translation taking account of the Latin and German texts. I was influenced by the RCUS Tercentenary translation and their revised modern language edition published in 1978 or ’79 (they did a traditional-language edition about the same time).
