Published by JH Kok, 1986

Hardcover with dustjacket in pristine condition.

Oepke Noordmans (1871-1956) was one of the most outstanding Dutch theologians of the twentieth century. Though he was only a pastor in rural villages in the far north and east of the Netherlands, his work is philosophically and socially by far the most critical of his contemporary theologians. He was an erudite scholar who knew the classics of European philosophy and of Christian theology, and, though a protestant, he was also acquainted with the work of Roman Catholic theologians such as John Henry Newman. Like Karl Barth, he never gained a doctorate, but was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Groningen. He was twice a candidate for church professor at the University of Utrecht, but the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church passed him over and appointed somebody else who was less critical.
