Even this day, lots of his works are popular within the Reformed-experiential phase of the Dutch inhabitants. Acquaintance along with his exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism is, even though, minimum, and that i have a good time that it will now not be the case with this booklet. the basic tenor of VanderGroe’s preaching that the legislations wounds and the gospel heals additionally involves the fore in his exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism.

Amid the present occurrence of rather a lot superficial literature, it truly is clean to learn this exposition of the catechism. His exposition of the preamble of the legislations, ahead of his sermon on Lord’s Day 34, is either unbelievable and deeply experiential. by no means have I learn a therapy in this topic that's as transparent and as scriptural as this. I wholeheartedly desire to recommend and suggest this pretty two-volume paintings that has been forgotten a ways too lengthy and pray that it'll discover a extensive reception within the English language.” — Cornelis Harinck, prolific writer and retired minister of the Gereformeerde Gemeenten within the Netherlands
