S.G. De Graaf: Life, Influences, Theology

A Preliminary Study

As is the case with other prophets, the name of S.G. de Graaf (author of Promise and Deliverance, The True Faith, and many other books) is basically a forgotten name in the Netherlands. The newest generation of theologians, to which Rev. Wendt belongs, has barely even heard of De Graaf. Indeed, he seems to be better known abroad than in his own country. This book is a revision of a thesis Rev. Wendt wrote at the Theological University of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands.

This study was written from De Graaf’s own point of view. This means that the tone is sometimes critical when the author discusses remarks or viewpoints of men like Schilder, Holwerda, and Greijdanus. This does not mean, however, that Rev. Wendt does not also greatly value what these men have written.
