Abstract
English: In the year which we commemorate the 450th anniversary of the Heidelberg
Catechism, this article follows the historical tracks of the catechism through the
history of the Dutch Reformed Church with special focus on the role it played in the
catechesis of the church. It starts with a short introduction about the origin of the
Heidelberg Catechism. Secondly it gives an overview of the material used by the
church through its early history before it compares the different books which were
used later on. This is done in order to establish what role the Heidelberg Catechism
played in the learning material of the church. The article concludes with the finding
that the Heidelberg Catechism indeed played and still plays a huge role in the
catechesis of the Dutch Reformed Church.
