The Place of the Church in the World: Reflections on K. Schilder. A conversation with Dr. Marinus De Jong, pastor of the Oosterpark Church, Amsterdam.
Marinus recently published his dissertation, The Church is the Means; the World is the End. This dissertation is a historical theological examination of Klaas Schilder's theology on the "place of the church in the world". Schilder is one of the most important "theological fathers" of the Canadian Reformed Churches but his teaching on "the place of the church in the world" has been mostly lost in the post immigration decades since the 1950's. Bill and Winston discuss Marinus' discoveries in researching and reading Schilder's many-faceted writings beginning in the years of the Great War and continuing through the rise of Nazism in pre-WWII in the Netherlands. You will learn of his public theology published in his newspaper, denouncing the NAZIs during the German occupation in the War years. Marinus tells of how Schilder was considered to be a literary critic before he was a theologian of merit engaging his contemporary culture with biblical critique. Though Schilder was not "intentionally" missional, he has much to teach us today about "the place of the church in the world".
