To ascertain the influence of Calvin on the Heidelberg Catechism has been complicated by at least three circumstances: (1) Olevianus' acknowledgement that the catechism was the work of many pious people from Switzerland: (2) the fact that many facets of the Catechism's content were common currency during the 16th century; (3) the obvious independence of the Reform movement in the Palitinate. In this article it is argued that the typical Calvinian accent on the three-fold office of Christ as reflected in the Heidelberg Catechism is perhaps the dearest example of Calvin’s influence. Yet even in this respect the Heidelberg Catechism retains its own character by condensing Calvin's exposition of the triplex munus in his Genevan Catechism.
