ABRAHAM HELLENBROEK
Hellenbroek’s catechism has gone through more than fifty editions in Dutch, as well as numerous editions in English. The translation of the Reformed Church in America was used extensively throughout reformed denominations for more than a century, and was frequently reprinted until the early twentieth century. Hellenbroek organized his catechism according to the six major doctrines of Reformed truth concerning God, man, Christ, salvation, the church, and the last things.
