The Heidelberg Catechism

This edition of the Heidelberg Catechism is published by the Reformed Church in the United States. Its translation is based on the Tercentenary Edition of 1863. The wording in this translation is somewhat different from the translation published by the Christian Reformed Church. It may be my personal bias, since this is the edition that I memorized nearly 35 years ago; however, I find it to read more smoothly than the CRC translation. At times it's almost poetic. Some years ago the RCUS updated this edition, bowing to current English usage (e.g., "you" instead of "thou") and replacing the KJV translation of the proof texts with NKJV wording. Thankfully, they have also published this Traditional Language Edition. I am glad they did, since my own copy of this earlier edition was nearly worn out.
