Learning theological ethics through the Heidelberg Catechism
Abstract
English
This article looks to the logic of grace and gratitude in the Heidelberg Catechism
(HC) in order to examine a disposing pattern of sensibility and affection as well
as four lessons for a contemporary Protestant theological ethic. It also suggests a
revision of the catechism’s basic theology in light of the current ecological crisis and
in conjunction with a theocentric strand in Reformed theologies of creation.
