Page "Harry M. Kuitert" Paragraph 4

According to Ecumenical News International, Kuitert, after his own emeritation in 1989, and by now the most widely read theologian in the Netherlands, broke completely with Berkouwer and " Middle Orthodox " tradition ( the theological mainstream of the reformed church ) in his book, Jesus, the Inheritance of Christianity ( 1998 ).

" Jesus supported the Jewish view of God, so he never saw himself as God on earth.

He is not a Second God, nor the Second Person of the Holy Trinity ," said the 80 years-old Kuitert, adopting publicly an informal unitarian stance on the key doctrine of Christian faith, much to the grief of those who continue to love and appreciate the work of Kuitert's mentor Berkouwer.
