    Abstract: Abraham Kuyper of the Netherlands compiled an extensive encyclopaedia or structure in which the unity of theology as well as the diversity of subjects was given account for. Contemporary theological trends and developments prove the fact that the process by which theology is defined, its unity established, and by means of which subsidiary disciplines gain autonomy, is largely unexplored. By means of reference to two closely related subjects, the one more 'theoretical' and the other more 'practical', this fact is clearly demonstrated. In conclusion the article suggests that theologians should reconstruct the house of theology as a science by paying scholarly attention to basic theories, different presuppositions among theologians and the criteria by which both the unity and the diversity in theology are determined.

    Abstract: While theology usually concentrates on the history and content of the Reformational creeds, less systematised information is available about the ministry and service which these creeds should fulfil in the life of the church as believers. This study points to a consistent continuity in the way confessions of faith were used by the early Christians, the Reformers and in the creeds of the Reformation. The content of the Heidelberg Catechism in particular bears a remarkable correspondence to the tradition in the early churches. Creeds can only be confessions of faith if they communicate the revelation from Scriptures. If creeds function thus, the current widespread indifference to the practical use of even the Heidelberg Catechism in the practical world of the church must be ascribed to the illegitimate distinction which Rationalism draws between practical (or subjective) and doctrinal (or objective) theology.

    Abstract: The Afrikaans reformed churches overwhelmingly uphold the concept worship service (erediens) and do not merely use the concept worship in their liturgy. This article challenges this concept inherited from the Aufkläring. It is argued that the concept worship service gives rise to the impression that a particular order of liturgical acts automatically establishes or equalises what is called a worship service while in reality only a real encounter between worshipper(s) and God by means of liturgy qualifies to be called worship. It is maintained that the Afrikaans tradition inherited too much of the Zwinglian emphasis placed on the edifying value of the sermon, and in this respect has deviated from the liturgy in the early churches. People therefore today do not experience worship but participate in the devotional attendance of a sermon. It is argued that this perception ought to be changed.

    Abstract: The Heidelberg Catechism originated in 1563 in the Paltz by political authority of the head of state for the purpose of education in schools and for general religious instruction. This document received the status of an official doctrinal creed (confession of faith) in the churches in the Netherlands at the Synod of 's-Gravenhage in 1586. Unity of faith as confessed determined the being of the church and ecclesiastical unity. The same synod therefore prescribed weekly preaching of the main content of the Christian doctrine and referred to the chapters of the Heidelberg Catechism as agenda for this purpose. The Church Order (art. 68) still maintains this prescription for the GKSA today. A lack of understanding of the real meaning and purpose of doctrinal preaching gave rise to a wrong perception that the Catechism as such is ordered by ecclesiastical authority to be preached. In this article it is asserted that in the so called ‘catechism-sermon' more than one pericope from Scripture should be used in context - rather than to focus on text in isolation - to highlight a certain section in the Heidelberg Catechism. In homiletics this kind of sermon should also be treated according to its own genre in homiletics.

    Abstract: Different and own divergent theological views provide different structural models for ecclesiastical organisation to be applied in a "new" South Africa. In this article it is accepted that unity in faith among congregations (churches) in a cultural diversity does exist. After having considered several basic ideas, the ecclesiastical model of the Reformed Churches in South Africa (GKSA) is analyzed against its 16th century background. This ecclesiastical model took shape within the broader context of the political and cultural reality of the Netherlands during the Reformation. The basic idea underlying this ecclesiastical model accepts that due to a common faith the universal unity in Christ is revealed in the plurality and diversity of congregations. Because of this fundamental unity, ecclesiastical fellowship is also imperative. Applying this basic idea of the Reformation, a model has emerged which stresses the unity resulting from the recognition of the common characteristics of the true church, but also simultaneously provides for Afferent modes and opportunities of ecclesiastical fellowship.

    Abstract: This article attempts a further analysis of the current liturgical procedure and position of the so-called worship service in the Reformed Churches of South Africa (GKSA). In this article the acts or decisions of at least three Synods of the GKSA dealing with the so-called ‘elements' of a worship service (erediens) are analysed. It is argued that the liturgical procedure inherited from the Netherlands often fails to constitute a real encounter in worship between God and his congregation. A one-sided intellectual and instructional emphasis on the sermon is to be blamed for this failure.

    Abstract: In order to commemorate the unification of the Christian Reformed Churches (CGKN) and the Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) in 1892, this article recalls the centripetal and centrifugal events within the Reformed Church of the Netherlands (NHK) during the 19th century. This history, important to South Africa, is rather unknown. It is alleged that the Church Ordinance of King William 1 (1816) gave rise to a new idea of the Church as a societal entity, directed by political and ecclessiastical authorities. This idea was challenged by ordinary people in 1834 and more deliberately in 1886 by Church Councils maintaining that the unity of the church is de­monstrated by testifying to the traditional reformed faith. This belief brought about the remarkable fusion of two church communities in a century characterised by multiple ecclessiastical secession.
