This book grapples with the question of what a responsible
engagement with the past entails, also for Christians and churches
associated with the Reformed tradition. The history of Reformed
churches in South Africa is, one can argue, a deeply divided and
ambivalent one. The same figures are heroes to some and villains to
others; historic events are deeply ambiguous and conflicting views
surround different discourses. Yet the histories, and perhaps
futures, of these churches and traditions are inextricably
interwoven. Reforming Memory fundamentally combines an interest in
the notion of “memory” with an interest in (South African) Reformed
theology and history. Central is the question: how should we
remember and represent the past responsibly? The essays collected
in this book engage in different ways with this question, attending
in the process to some episodes in the history of the Dutch
Reformed Church, some influential Reformed theologians, and some
important Reformed practices and confessional documents.
