Publications and Research

Obedience to the Law of Christ
R.A. Veen

Detailed examination of the arguments for a continued effort to include Torah-ethics into Christian ethics.

The End of the Law?
R.A. Veen

An analysis of Paul's letters to the Galatians and Romans shows that even to him, the Mosaic Law is an essential part of the social ethics of early Christianity. A sequel to Fulfillment of the Law.

Fulfillment of the Law
R.A. Veen

A new look at the New Testament writings may provide us with a better understanding of the positive role of the Law of Moses in early Christian ethics. If Jesus understood obedience to the Torah as part of His mission, it should be important to Christians today to acquire a taste for careful ethical discourse along the lines of Jewish "legal" thought. This book tries to show by an in-depth analysis of the gospels of Mark and Matthew and the letter of James that early Christianity did in fact accept the continuing authority of the Torah for Christian life.

Justification and the Law
R.A. Veen

The third and final book in a series on the meaning of the Torah for Christian ethics. In this book Dr. Robbert Veen explores the reasons behind the rejection of the role of the Torah in dogma history. The doctrine of justification by faith in its Protestant and later in its evangelical shape contributed to the downfall of the Torah in Protestant ethics. In the Mennonite version of the doctrine, things look a little better. The other two books in the series are: Fulfillment of the Law and The End of the Law?

Zwaard en Kruis
R.A. Veen

Heeft de kerk nog kritische afstand tot de staat en de overheid? Het antwoord lijkt ontkennend. De moderne democratie wordt in bijna alle kerken als vanzelfsprekende vorm van de samenleving gezien. Juist nu het falen van de neo-liberale droom in onze tijd weer scherp zichtbaar wordt, moet de verhouding van kerk en staat opnieuw bezien worden. Aan de hand van motieven uit de Doperse traditie wordt in dit boek een poging gedaan de plaats van de kritiek op het neo-liberalisme te herontdekken. Als de kerk zichzelf blijft, zal zij de plaats van de profetische wachter tegenover de overheid moeten innemen.

Fitna van de angst
R.A. Veen

Fitna van Geert Wilders is in essentie een beeldcommentaar bij vijf passages van de Koran. Wilders identificeert de extremistische Islam met de religie van miljoenen vredelievende moslims. Is dat terecht? Dit boek geeft antwoord op die vraag door de vijf teksten uit de Koran aan een onderzoek te onderwerpen. Het geeft ook antwoorden op vragen als: wat is de Koran? Hoe wordt de Koran geïnterpreteerd? Welke interpretaties bestaan er? Het is tenslotte ook een pleidooi voor een "Radicale" Islam, een Islam van de geweldloosheid, van de dialoog. Met die Islam kan in een democratie gebouwd worden aan een gezamenlijke toekomst.

Zoektocht naar de verloren God
R.A. Veen

Het geloof in de bijbelse god is in onze cultuur vervangen door het ietsisme. Religie wordt acceptabel als een medicijn voor de kwalen van de moderne samenleving. Het godsbeeld van de bijbel is kritischer en heilzamer dan onze postmoderne religie droomt. In dit boek wordt getoond, dat alleen bij deze bijbelse god de zorg om de weduwe, de wees en de vreemdeling in goede handen is. Omdat die bijbelse god zich niet laat inpassen in onze constructies en haaks staat op onze illusies over onszelf. Het bijbelse realisme toont zich als een harde kritiek op onze politieke en religieuze droom.

Filosofie als Gesprek
R.A. Veen

Inleiding tot het filosoferen als activiteit met als rode draad het idee van het gesprek of de dialoog.

To Read Hegel - part 1
Robbert Veen

Introductory analysis of the Phenomenology: its position within Hegel's philosophy as a whole, its structure and an overview of its contents.
