No doubt this was largely my fault – I didn’t do enough revision and practice between lessons compared to the others – but my experience of lessons once I’d fallen behind was terrible. I’ve attempted to learn both Russian and Mandarin in classes as an adult at different times and found that I floundered very quickly. I’ve experienced this myself as a learner in a few contexts, most specifically in languages lessons. Lessons can go on around them without them feeling that they are part of the teaching and learning flow they are present but they are being left behind. For students in, say, the lowest 20% of attainment, I think day to day school life can be pretty grim. The thing I find I’m increasingly focused on on my many lessons visits and learning walks is the gap between the general thrust of a lesson, aimed at and involving the most confident students, and the experience of students at the other end of the range.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could interview Ursinus? The Heidelberg Catechism is law and gospel. Ursinus divided his catechism by these two words, “The catechism in its primary and most general sense…may be divided as the doctrine of the church, into the law and gospel.” The doctrine of the church is the law and the gospel. It is as if he has written two beautiful books that read as two eschatological realities: one condemnation, and the other condemnation no more. It is as if we can know God by two means. 3 Lastly, each has its own manner of revelation-the law is known from nature, and the gospel is divinely revealed. He says the law is conditional (i.e., perfect obedience), whereas the gospel is by faith alone in Christ alone. For Ursinus, the law prescribes, instructs, and forbids, whereas the gospel promises, forgives, and makes us the righteousness of Christ. 2 He calls the gospel the person and work of Christ. Zacharias Ursinus, the chief architect of the Heidelberg Catechism, in the introduction of his commentary on the aforementioned, asked, “What is the doctrine of the church?” The doctrine of the church is the law and gospel, “the law and gospel are the chief and general divisions of the holy scriptures, and comprise the entire doctrine comprehended therein.” 1 With the Apostle Paul, he calls the law our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. |
