| Summary: | Arie Molendijk’s work brings together various themes that are important for liberal theology. Among these are the volatilisation of liberal Protestantism, the scientific study of religion, and the current situation of religious studies and theology in the Netherlands. In the current situation, after the duplex ordo, liberal academic theology struggles to find its place. In this article, I discuss and question the ideal Molendijk envisions for the study of religion and theology. I argue that liberal academic theology can find its place in a denominational university even though tensions exist between academic and ecclesiastical theology that may entail the volatilisation of liberal academic theology. |
