“In the Reformed Church, as thus prevailing in different
principalities throughout Germany, various catechisms appeared, and secured to
themselves a more or less extensive use. In the end however all of these were
either cast aside, or sunk into a secondary rank; while the Catechism of the
Palatinate attained to a sort of universal authority, as the leading symbol of
the Church” (J.
W. Nevin, History and Genius of the Heidelberg Catechism (Chambersburg,
1847), 90).
