J P Oberholzer: A tribute
This article pays tribute to Professor J P Oberholzer. He is depicted as a church and cultural leader who enjoys enormous respect and appreciation both inside
and outside the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. As minister and theologian, Professor Oberholzer served in several influential ecclesiastical offices. His sharp intellect, enormous zeal, and extraordinary ability to judge matters objectively put
him above all his contemporaries in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk. As a result he exercised a unique and an enormous influence upon the theological and clerical
thought of the Hervormde Kerk and upon the directions it took.
