“The Heidelberg Catechism was designed, as we have already
seen, to serve the cause of union and peace. . . . From beginning to end, it is
occupied with what is positive in truth; rather than with its negative aspects
and relations. . . . This is truly remarkable, when we consider the particular
period in which it appeared, and the tone that had come to characterize too
generally at the time the thinking and speaking of the different parties in the
Protestant world” (J. W. Nevin, History and Genius of the Heidelberg Catechism
(Chambersburg, 1847), 57-58).
