“…Vanuit 'n ander hoek word daar totaal anders oor die begrip 'volkskerk' gepraat. Dit is die volkskerk-begrip soos dit deur onder andere Hoedemaker gestalte in die Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk en Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk aangeneem het (Van Wyk 1991;Botha 1989:9-28 Oberholzer (1995:852) vra of die skielike ontwaking van die vraag na die kerk en die wese van die kerk nie alreeds 'n skuldbelydenis is nie. Is dit nie 'n erkenning dat die totale werk van die Hervonnde Kerk soos die doenigheid van Marta was, oor baie dinge besorg en bekommerd sonder om aan die voete van die Here te sit en na Hom te luister nie?…”

Being church in times of change: The Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerkagainst the background of shifting paradigms. Against the background of the turn of the millenium, humanity finds itself in a stage of transition. Not only are the church and theology fully aware of this, but they are directly afected. This study is an endeavour to assess where the church, theology and believing community in South Africa, and particularly the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk, finds themselves against the background of a world-wide shit in paradigms. The study concludes with a few remarks regarding statements, positive and negative, which are being voiced by leaders in the church and by theologians within the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk. These remarks focus on how the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk should meet the approaching millenium. It is obvious that the church is nearing a very exiting, but crucial time in its vocation as church.

The prominent Anti-Revolutionary philosopher and theologian, Philippus Jacobus Hoedemaker (1839–1910) operated in the Dutch politico-ecclesiastical scene. He achieved renown primarily because of his dispute with Abraham Kuyper over the role of common grace and the political implications of Kuyper’s doctrine. In contradistinction to Neo-Calvinists such as Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, Hoedemaker proposed a distinct philosophy of revelation, emphasising the inescapabilty and holistic nature thereof as foundational to all human knowledge. Hoedemaker’s epistemology, consciously theorized and articulated in reaction to the empiricism and rationalism of the Enlightenment, emphasises that all realities and facts are inescapably revealed realities, which are mediated by divine revelation in Scripture as well as history which he understands to be essentially the manifestation of divine providence, given that he holds God to be the ultimate First Cause behind everything in existence. For Hoedemaker, every fact in the universe is therefore completely dependent upon God and his revelation for its very existence. Hoedemaker’s distinct epistemology also has significant socio-political implications, most notably the utter impossibility of neutrality in the public domain. Since for Hoedemaker, there exists no natural, unmediated or unrevealed knowledge in all of the universe, it is only Christianity that can bring about true socio-cultural and sociopolitical progress, while all other worldviews only maintain themselves inasmuch as they borrow capital from the Christian worldview ultimately rooted in Christian epistemology.
