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

in conjunction with a theocentric strand in Reformed theologies of creation.
