Klaas van der Zwaag (1955) is a Dutch writer and journalist of the Reformatorisch Dagblad. Klaas van der Zwaag is the chairman of the editorial board of the magazine Zicht, organ of the scientific institute of the SGP, editor of the Sophie magazine, publication of the Foundation for Christian Philosophy, and associate / columnist of Protestant Netherlands.
Van der Zwaag studied philosophy and theology at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Van der Zwaag published various historical studies, including in 1999 a dissertation on Article 36 of the Dutch Confession of Religion, Uncrossed or Shortened. In this he mainly searched for the meaning of the phrase: to ward and to eradicate all idolatry and false religion to destroy the empire of the Antichrist, which was erased by the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands in 1905. This passage, however, is essential for the theocratic politics of the Reformed Party. Van der Zwaag defended the vision of the SGP in his book.
A lot of shake in the Reformed Circuit caused his book to wait or wait? The appropriation of health in theological and historical perspective. This book (more than 1100 pages) appeared in autumn 2003 and gives a historical and theological overview of the different views on the "appropriation of salvation" (the reformed doctrine of how a sinful man comes to faith and preserves forever ). He concluded that in the permanently reformed churches, and in particular the Reformed Churches, where he himself was a member, not always being biblically thought and preached about faith and repentance to God. The Reformed Church of Barneveld refused Van der Zwaag access to the Holy Supper and sent him under censorship.
Because of the sensitivity in the backbone and because of the fact that it was one of their staff, the Reformatorisch Dagblad hardly mentioned the issue. Among other things, in the case of Trouw and the Dutch newspaper, the issue was detailed. In 2007, author Bram Bart from Krabbendijke was censored for the same reason because of his book Where do the Reformed Towns?
In 2008, he published the Augustine study. The church father of the West, his life, his work, his influence, a completely revised edition of an earlier edition of 1993. Bibliography
In February 2017, Reformation appears today. 500 years Reform in debate with Rome and new forms of dope radicalism. This study (two parts, 1350 p.) Follows this twofold debate over the ages to the present. Finally, the author asks how the Reformation could form in this time, in a new context of, on the one hand, a changed Roman Catholic Church and, on the other hand, new "dopers" and charismatic forms of church.
