Grotius refuted Socinus’ attack on the Reformed theory of satisfaction in his De satisfaction, which contains a translation of the doctrine of satisfaction into a legal framework, but it was not understood by everyone. On its surface and within the broader context of De satisfactione, Grotius’ statements about punishment demanded by the common good and the relaxatio of the law, have been misinterpreted to say that Grotius deviated from the orthodox theory of satisfaction. A close analysis of De satisfactione, however, shows that Grotius is closely aligned with Reformed doctrine of satisfaction. As an Arminian Grotius only deviates from the later formulated Canons of Dort about the extent of the atonement.

This study seeks to answer the question of how the biblical references in the Canons of Dordt influenced the annotations in the margin of the ‘Statenvertaling’ (Authorized Version). Using the Microsoft Excel digital spreadsheet to analyse the results of existing research, the article illustrates how biblical references in the Canons of Dordt and the Heidelberg Catechism can be adequately compared, and then compares the marginal notes of the Deux-Aes Bible with the annotations of the Authorized Version. The conclusions shows that more than 25% of the relevant vocabulary in the annotations is found in the Canons of Dordt, but not in the quoted texts of the Authorized Version.

The debate about the meaning of the Pauline phrase pistis Christou focuses on the syntax. If the genitive case is subjective then it is rendered “faith(fulness) of Christ”, if objective, then “faith in Christ”. This article examines the occurrence of pistis Christou in Philippians 3:9 from a reader-response perspective to determine if the difference between the subjective and the objective genitive reading could have led to a different understanding by the Philippians. The phrase and meaning of pistis Christou will be treated as an open space in the text, which the first readers could fill by following the letter’s authorial instructions and textual indications. The article concludes that a reader-response approach does not provide a way out of the exegetical debate on the meaning of pistis Christou, but that it does shift the reader’s focus from the grammar to the person of Christ.

Most orthodox congregations in the PCN admit those who have publicly confessed their faith to participate in the Lord’s Supper. Because the average age at which such confessions of faith are made is eighteen, the Lord’s Supper is an occasion exclusively for adults. This article questions this practice based on John Calvin’s views on covenant, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. By carefully reading Calvin’s views of infant baptism, especially the infants’ belonging to the community of the covenant, by evaluating his exegesis of 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, and Calvin’s view of the Lord’s Supper, and looking at the theory of embodiment and liturgical play as developed by Lydia van Leersum-Bekebrede, this article argues for allowing children to publicly confess their faith and participate in the Lord’s Supper.
PCN的大多数正统教会都承认那些公开承认信仰的人可以参加主的晚餐。因为这种信仰告白的平均年龄是十八岁，所以圣餐是专门为成年人准备的场合。本文基于加尔文对圣约、洗礼和圣餐的观点，对这种做法提出质疑。通过仔细阅读加尔文对婴儿洗礼的观点，特别是婴儿属于契约群体的观点，通过评估他对哥林多前书11:27-29的注释，以及加尔文对圣餐的看法，以及Lydia van leersume - bekebrede提出的具体化理论和礼仪游戏，本文主张允许儿童公开承认他们的信仰并参与圣餐。

Literature on religion and science is vast; that on the humanities and the Christian faith much less so. This essay explores this largely uncharted territory by identifying several remarkable affinities and tensions between the church’s interpretive practices (e.g., in reading the Bible) and those fostered in the humanities (e.g., in analyzing a play of Shakespeare). It then analyzes these tensions in terms of three kinds of reductionism: methodical, contextual, and ontological reductionism. The article identifies some historical, philosophical, and theological resources to remedy these various forms of reductionist thinking. The article ends with a plea to clergy that they not too quickly assume that the relationship between the church and the humanities is fraught with tension. Offering prospective students an anti-reductionist hermeneutical framework will prepare better for study in the humanities

Empirical research in secondary education discloses that students lack interest, and even resist, learning about the Bible because they experience the Bible as dull and it does not speak to their modern selves. This article describes directions towards a biblical pedagogy which aims at a hermeneutic in which students develop a responsible relationship to Scripture in which they recognize its relevance for their world. The essence of wisdom as taught by Proverbs and Job, and research in the teaching of literature form the basis for the guidelines of a pedagogy that addresses student resistance and lack of interest in reading the Bible.
