The Good News We Almost Forgot: Rediscovering the Gospel in a 16th Century Catechism

DeYoung, Kevin

Chicago, IL: Moody, 2010

This book may be the best introduction to the Heidelberg Catechism for newly Reformed believers. DeYoung provides brief commentary on each of the 52 Lord’s Days, approximately 2-3 pages, in which he clearly explains the content in contemporary language and provides useful application for modern life. Useful both for pastors who are teaching the catechism (his illustrations and applications are fantastic) and for lay readers.
