Johannes Blauw

Johannes Blauw (1912-2007) was a Dutch Reformed theologian known for his contributions to the field of biblical studies and hermeneutics.

In 1950, Blauw's Phd was republished in the form of a book, titled Goden En Mensen: Plaats En Betekenis Van De Heidenen In De Heilige Schrift ("Gods and Men: The Place and Significance of Pagans in Holy Scripture" in English.

His ideas were part of a broader movement in theology that sought to engage more deeply with the existential and cultural challenges of the time.

Johannes Blauw's impact extended beyond his academic work; he also served as a pastor and contributed to the practical aspects of theology.

While the new hermeneutic and its proponents have faced both criticism and support, Blauw's work remains an important part of the conversation around biblical interpretation and theology.
