Summary
Jerry Eicher of Anabaptist Theological Perspectives announces an adapted version of the Heidelberg Catechism tailored for Anabaptist readers. He explains the history and structure of the 1563 catechism—its pastoral tone, 52 weekly themes, and focus on guilt, grace, and gratitude—and describes how he revised key points to reflect Anabaptist convictions.The episode covers why there is a need for a catechism-style resource in Anabaptist circles, what changes were made in the adaptation, and how listeners can access the draft as a free PDF at jerryeicher.com under the Nonfiction section. Jerry invites feedback from readers and users to refine the draft and considers producing a booklet if interest grows.
