Prof. Wilhelm Neuser, world-renowned Calvanist, dedicated his latest book about Calvyn to the University of the Free State (UFS). Prof. Neuser (from Germany), who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the UFS in 2005, has undertaken to also dedicate his next book to the UFS. The book, "Johannes Calvin - Leben und Werk in seiner Frühzeit 1509-1541", was handed to the Acting Rector, Prof. Teuns Verschoor, during the gala dinner of the Eight South African Calvyn Research Congress. The event was also used to launch an important new addition to the series UFS Theological Studies: The Afrikaans translation of Calvyn’s comment on the letter to the Romans. The comment was translated by Prof. S Postma. The Calvyn Research Congress was presented by the Institute for Classical Reformation Studies at the UFS, in cooperation with the Faculty of Theology at the UFS. Here are, from the left: Prof. Dolf Britz, Department of Church History and Polity at the UFS, Prof. Neuser, and Prof. Verschoor.
