Ingebed in de schoot der vroomheid: het contemplatieve karakter van Noordmans' theologie

| Summary: | Abstract The contemplative turn in todays theology had already a predecessor in the theology of O. Noordmans. That theology, developed in the first half of the 20th century, was (as Noordmans himself put it) embedded in the church as mother church, as a womb of piety. This article describes how that can be seen in Noordmanss appreciation of the pastoral character of Reformed dogmatics and in his sharp distinction between church and school. The church, according to him, is not a place for doing philosophy, rather for proclaiming the Gospel, and the dogma serves only to keep the preacher on the right path. In this context, special attention is paid to Noordmanss doctrine of creation, as summarized in his statement: Creating is not forming, but dividing. In other words: creation cannot be a (philopsophical) theme in itself; rather it is the beginning of a story: the story of the procession towards the cross. |
