More About This Title Oepke Noordmans
- English
English
Oepke Noordmans was one of the major Dutch theologians of the twentieth century, whose recovery of a vital doctrine of the Holy Spirit placed him at the center of thought on the nature of the church and its ministry.
In this volume Karel Blei, himself a theological voice of note, has provided a lucid introduction to and summary of Noordmans's thought and contextual impact. The book also includes substantial excerpts of Noordmans's writing in translation, offering a compact representation of his work to an English-speaking audience.

H. W. de Knijff
-- Utrecht University
"O. Noordmans has to be considered 'the greatest Dutch theologian of the twentieth century' (H. Berkhof), 'a teacher for a whole generation of theologians.' He possessed the charisma to combine fundamental theology (and doctrine) with original, often humorous formulations. In this way he gave an unsurpassed comment on his own era. In this book Karel Blei paints a clear picture of Noordmans's ideas and writings."
J. D. Th. Wassenaar
-- author of Noordmans in Friesland
"Recommended for everyone who desires to know more about the man who is viewed by many as the most important Dutch Reformed theologian and a church father of the previous century. Blei considers Noordmans not only as a theologian but describes his importance in the turbulent events of the Dutch Reformed Church, particularly in his role in the struggle for the reorganization of the church in the 1930s, his plea for a sober but genuine liturgy, and his critical view on the renewal of the church following the Second World War."
Paul R. Fries
-- New Brunswick Theological Seminary
"A lucid presentation of Noordmans's theology. . . . this book extends beyond its presumed narrow readership. It is the content of Noordmans's thought, bold, sometimes startling, always insightful, and occasionally troubling that makes this book worthy of attention. One may find a new perspective on and deepened grasp of various subjects of theological concern, and one may also find in Noordmans a corrective for the unimaginative and superficial treatment of these and other subjects in the popular life of the church."
Pneuma
"A rich and careful introduction into the theology of one of the foremost Dutch theologians of the 20th century."
