[Tussen Bugenhagen en Borromaeus: De paradox van de conserverende Reformatie, Between Bugenhagen en Borromaeus: The Paradox of the Conserving Reformation]
More LessThe aim of this article is to provide a survey of the vicissitudes of medieval church furnishings in Western Europe. Most furnishings have been conserved in the Protestant countries of northern Europe. The richest are Lutheran churches, followed by Anglican ones. Even in Calvinist churches, here and there medieval pieces may be encountered. The wealth of such furnishings in Protestant churches contrasts with their relative scarcity in Roman Catholic ones, from which most medieval furniture has been replaced over the centuries. This is the contrast between the conservative Lutheran Bugenhagen and the Catholic renewer Borromaeus.

[‘Intelligent Design’: Is it Science or Theology? On the background of a Growing Controversy, ‘Intelligent Design’: Is het Wetenschap of Theologie? Achtergronden van een groeiende controverse]
More LessThis article presents an overview of American and Dutch discussions surrounding intelligent design (ID), a recent movement that criticizes the Darwinian account of evolution. It is argued that at least the American adherents of ID have strong theological and ideological agendas. Yet, although ID is historically related to creationist movements, it is false to simply equate ID with creationism, as is often done in antiID literature. In the Netherlands, so far discussions about ID have been rare. Moreover, Dutch exponents of IDideas tend to focus more on the status and validity of scientific claims than on religious issues.

[Theologie und Religionswissenschaft: Gegenseitige Inspiration und Irritation zweier komplementärer Wissenschaften, Theology and Religious Studies: Mutual Inspiration and Irritation Between two Complementary Disciplines]
By Gerd TheiβenTheology and religious studies answer distinct questions: Theology is committed to the truth of a concrete religion, but lacks universality. Religious studies are dealing with all religions, but are bracketing off the question of truth. Both are for the time being incomplete, because all academic studies must combine universality and truth. Both need one another. The article outlines the way how general religious studies may help theology to a better understanding of its task – especially by explaining the theological contrast between ‘revelation vs. religion’ as a typical phenomenon of ‘secondary religions’ which originated by criticism of primary religions.

[Incoherentie en individualisme: Over levensbeschouwelijk bricoleren, Incoherence and Individualism: On Tinkering a view of Life]
More LessMany people nowadays develop a view of life à la carte. Has this tinkering of a view of life to be rejected on the basis of its many incoherences? A historical reflection (with attention to Hume’s Natural History of Religion) suggests that not a lack, but rather an excess of philosophy and rationality is responsible for the incoherences of a tinkered view of life. Incoherences are furthermore so ubiquitous that they can hardly be sufficient reason for rejection. More problematic however is the individualism in matters of religion and view of life. Elaborating on analyses provided by the Flemish philosophers Burms and De Dijn it is indicated how an individual, tinkered view of life is still parasitic upon a more fundamental, tacit and collective view of life. The danger of tinkering views of life seems therefore to repose more in cultural narcissism and selfdeception than in incoherences.
