Abstract
English: The Heidelberg Catechism’s section on Sin and Misery does not provide a moralistic
or legalistic perspective on the human condition. Instead, it offers, in abbreviated
format, a restatement of the doctrine of original sin, which points to sin as a
condition and not just an act. As such, it invites us to think more deeply about the
complexities of the human condition and of human agency.
