Passage

Romans 4

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ, not generic pluralistic religiosity.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  The Netherlands is one of the most secularized countries in Western Europe; 'geloof' increasingly reads as a generic, pluralistic term for any religion rather than assumed Christian content.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  Bodily, historical, once-for-all event; no competing reincarnation folk-concept in Dutch culture.

  ROM.4.25

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  Bodily, historical, once-for-all event; chief risk is secular naturalism reading it as metaphor.
