James Swan
Puritan Board Freshman
I've been memorizing the Heidelberg Catechism, questions and answers. I've made it to Lord's Day 17.
Here's how the translation I'm using presents Question and Answer #37
Q. What do you understand by the word, "suffered"?
A. That during his whole life on earth, but especially at the end, Christ sustained, in body and soul, the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race.
I was curious if anyone could recommend any sources on Zacharius Ursinus or Caspar Olevianus on the extent of the atonement. Yes, I am aware already that the extent of the atonement was a question that came under scrutiny and sharper focus later in Reformed history.
