Doctoral Thesis

De moeite waard om door te geven (Worth passing on) is a book about traditions. To be precise: about the remonstrant tradition. The Remonstrant Church is a small Dutch, liberal protestant denomination. It once knew prosperous growth, but it has been in decline since the last quater of the twentieth century. At least: if the numbers and the vitality of churchmembers are the measure. Because also when traditions don’t thrive and prosper there are people that think they are worthwhile. It is about them and the congragation where they find a spiritual home. The last part is about confessions. Remonstrants are very precise in these matters. They are expressions of their very differentiated worldviews, where the personal and the communal are securely kept apart.
