“The primary purpose of Drawn to Freedom is not to understand the Heidelberg Catechism,” Eberhard Busch explains, “but rather through it to understand what it means for us to believe in the merciful and just triune God. This is our God today, who always was our God, and will be our God tomorrow.” This book, then, is a carefully developed, wide-ranging exploration of what it means to be a Christian in today’s world.

“God is so committed to freedom,” writes Busch, “that he wants to give humans their own freedom.” To unfold what this proposition means for Christians, Busch reexamines the Heidelberg Catechism of 1563 from a modern perspective and uses its question-and-answer format to propose an understanding of God’s ways that still holds true for the twenty-first century. Busch also invites into the conversation past and present theologians, philosophers, musicians, and scientists with significant questions, objections, and alternative views. He probes such issues as self-understanding, personal worth, sin and forgiveness, hope and despair, and faith and love — all in relation to the freedom and deliverance that he believes God desires to afford us.
