Heidelberg Catechism

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.48 sec.

Heidelberg Catechism

A Protestant confession of faith, drawn up in 1562. It was written by the theologians Kaspar Olevianus and Zacharias Ursinus at the request of the Elector Frederick III. It maintained the doctrines of Calvin and Bullinger, but expressed moderately so as to conciliate the Lutherans. It was accepted by the annual synod of the Palatinate in 1563 and at the Synod of Dort in 1619. It was translated into English in 1572.
