Abstract
English: The seemingly harsh texts about God’s justice and wrath in the Heidelberg Catechism turn out to be the core of the comfort that the catechisms proclaims, if we read the
catechism contextually. The same is the case with regard to providence when the
catechism claims that also poverty and illness come from God’s fatherly hand.
