WETHMAR, Conrad. Seventy years of dogmatics and Christian ethics at the University of Pretoria: A Dutch Reformed perspective. Verbum Eccles. (Online) [online]. 2009, vol.30, n.3, pp.1-9. ISSN 2074-7705.  https://doi.org/10.4102/ve.v30i3.184.

This article provides a brief analysis and evaluation of the work done by the Department of Dogmatics and Christian Ethics at the University of Pretoria during its history of 70 years. The respective periods of tenure of the successive members of staff were extensive enough to serve as a basis for distinguishing between various phases in the development of the Department. In each of the phases, a significant and distinctive contribution was made to the academic enterprise of the Faculty of Theology, as well as to the work of the Dutch Reformed Church which was represented by the relevant members of staff.

Keywords : dogmatics; Christian ethics; University of Pretoria; Dutch Reformed Church; Department of Dogmatics and Christian Ethics.
