Just arrived yesterday to my home: The Christian's Only Comfort in Life and Death: An Exposition of the Heidelberg Catechism by Theodorus VanderGroe; translated from the Dutch by Bartel Elshout; edited by Joel R. Beeke; 2 volumes (Grand Rapids: Reformation Heritage Press and Dutch Reformed Translation Society, 2016).

VanderGroe (1705-1784) was a Dutch Reformed minister (54 years in two pastorates) and author. (He was less than 17 months younger than Jonathan Edwards.) The two volumes contain his 71 sermons on the Heidelberger. They were published in the original Dutch during his lifetime. This is the first time they've been translated into English.

I've already dug in to the introductory material, and I'm really looking forward to reading the sermons themselves.

By the way, the introductory material says that VanderGroe also published 48 sermons on the sufferings of Christ. I hope those get translated one day!
