		Calvinism is a system of Christian theology and an approach to Christian life and thought, articulated by John Calvin, a Protestant Reformer in the 16th century, and subsequently by successors, associates, followers and admirers of Calvin and his interpretation of Scripture.
		Calvinism presupposes that the goodness and power of God have a free, unlimited range of activity, and this works out as a conviction that God is at work in all realms of existence, including the spiritual, physical, and intellectual realms, whether secular or sacred, public or private, on earth or in heaven.
		Calvin replies that in every age the elect constituted the flock of Christ, and all besides were strangers, though invested with dignity and offices in the visible communion.

		Afrikaner Calvinism is a unique cultural development that combined the Calvinist religion with the political aspirations of the white Afrikaans speaking people of South Africa.
		This is especially interesting to contemporaries considering that a form of nationalistic Calvinism arose, which had direct bearing upon the establishment of the Apartheid policy in 1948.
		International pressures mounted, increasingly isolating the Afrikaners and identifying their policies with the worst kind of godless oppression; but this was a long time in producing a crisis of conscience.

		This event split the Afrikaner population: the Trekboer-descended Afrikaners participating in the exodus were later called 'Voortrekkers', while the Afrikaners centered mainly in the western Cape who remained, were misleadingly referred to by British settlers as the 'Cape Dutch'.
		Many Afrikaners objected to the use of the “children from the concentration camps” to attack the Afrikaner-friendly Germans, resulting in the Maritz Rebellion of 1914, which was quickly quelled by the government forces.
		Some Afrikaners feel that their language and culture face a serious threat in post-apartheid South Africa, due to the relatively small population of Afrikaners, the dominance of the English language and their lack of political power.

		The Calvinism of the Boers of the Transvaal in South Africa developed in a different way than its European and American counterparts.
		But the Doppers won the war for the hearts of the Afrikaners, and left them absolutely committed to their laager mentality, to preserve themselves and their way of life against the British melting pot.
		Besides, the racial rhetoric of the white supremicists was practically indistinguishable to an unsophisticated Afrikaner ear from the religiously motivated apartheid policies.

	Apartheid in South Africa: Calvin's Legacy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The main assumptions of Calvin's theology that affected both Europeans and the South African Boers alike were the view of the sovereignty of God, the preeminence and authority of the Bible, and the doctrine of predestination.
		Afrikaner theology and society became very legalistic and harsh because of their emphasis on the Old Testament's codes of behavior such as the widely-known Biblical statement "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Thus, the Afrikaners began to identify with the Israelites of old.
		Calvinism thus bred an individualistic society upon the European continent, as opposed to the group consciousness that arose in South Africa.

	History of South Africa
		A dispute arose over compensation after the British abolition of slavery in 1835, and many of the Afrikaner settlers, who were known as the Voortrekkers, travelled to the interior of the country to found their own republics, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal.
		The British rounded up civilian Afrikaners, along with their fl workers, and placed them into separate concentration camps, where malnutrition and diseases were rampant.
		After pressing onward with the resistance for another year, the bittereinders finally accepted that the Boer nation would be completely destroyed if they persisted, and signed a peace treaty with the British at Pretoria on May 31, 1902.

	[No title]
		Zealous Afrikaner nationalists were by the beginning of the nineteenth century resisting not their cousins in the VOC but British colonialists and those Afrikaners who were seen to be collaborators with the imperialists.
		Afrikaner ideologues argued that the volk was an instrument of God through which the individual realized his or her God-given potential as a person—a centripetal point to be nurtured and promoted through the affirmation of what is one's own—in poetry, song, prayer, and other forms of culture.
		Scholars of Afrikaner nationalism suggest it was not until the late nineteenth century that this brand of theologized nationalism emerged, at which point earlier events were reinterpreted from this perspective.

	Paul Bullen: Afrikaner Ethnicism
		Afrikaners had, then, two intertwined needs: to be saved from the material pain of poverty and to be saved from the depressed state of their world order caused by dominance of the English.
		Although Afrikaners wanted to maintain ethnic integrity in the face of the English, because of their European origins the English were accepted as a developed or civilized people, on a par with the Afrikaners, susceptible though they were to false ideologies such as liberalism.
		Afrikaner economic and political successes have produced a large class of educated, urban professionals and entrepreneurs, many of whom have developed vocational consciousnesses at odds with traditional notions of volk loyalty.

	The Buck Stops Here
		Calvinism is a system of Christian theology advanced by John Calvin, a Protestant Reformer in the 16th century, and further developed by his followers, associates and admirers.
		Calvinism is perhaps best known for its doctrine of predestination, and its history is associated with some notable experiments in Christian theocracy.
		Afrikaners are just as varied and diverse as any other cultural group out there, despite its small population and apparent hegemony (thanks to a line-up of pathetic National Party governments shooting their mouths off on the international stage).

		An Afrikaner is a white South African of Calvinist Dutch (or sometimes French Calvinist, German or Belgian) extraction, speaking Afrikaans, a language derived principally from the Dutch of the 17th and 18th centuries, with borrowings today from African languages and English.
		Afrikaners (widely known until the 20th century as Boers from the Dutch boeren: "farmers") are descended mostly from white Calvinist settlers who occupied the Cape of Good Hope during the period of administration (1652-1795) by the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) and the subsequent period of British rule.
		In the 1830s and 1840s an estimated 12,000 Boer pioneers (Voortrekkers) penetrated the future Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal provinces in order to put themselves beyond the reach of British authority, because they did not agree with the British restrictions on slavery.

		The Afrikaners' situation was, in fact, always tenuous, to put it mildly, not only with respect to the steady encroachments of Britain, but also as regards their being vastly outnumbered by Blacks in their new republics.
		Once again, Afrikaners were caught in a pincer: the encroaching British in the south and the Zulu, the Ndebele, the Shangaan, the Pedi, and the Tswana to the east and to the north.
		For Britain, the war was no more than a passing episode; for Afrikaners, who lost eight times as many women and children in the concentration camps as soldiers on the battlefield, this was the most crucial event in their history, the matrix out of which a new people was born.

	TF-Mar95-strauss
		This controversial minister of the church, founder of the Afrikaner Bond party in the Cape Colony in 1879 (D'Assonville 1993:30) and protagonist of the Afrikaans language attempted to apply Kuyper's Neo-Calvinism to the South African ecclesiastic and politial circumstances.
		The connection between the Scriptures, Calvinism, the Afrikaner and apartheid as a particular line within the Neo-Calvinism system of thought in South-Africa is clearly apparent.
		Reference to Kuyper's line of thought in support of apartheid in assemblies of the RCSA reached its highwater mark in the decisions of the synods of 1958 and 1961 on, as it was referred to, racial relations in South Africa.

	South Africa Revolution
		By juxtaposing the Boer Great Trek from British imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century to the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt, the DRC maintained that the Afrikaner people were God’s chosen tenants of the South African promised land who had been entrusted with the fl population over which to rule.
		With its homogenizing effects upon the Afrikaner people and its support for the National Party, the DRC was an integral buttress of apartheid, providing a moral justification for the system while deterring reformers from voicing their dissent.
		As a result, the Afrikaner society lost one of its main unifying factors, a phenomenon which loosened the restraints on reformers within the arty and undermining standpatters within the government.
