Die betekenis van H.G. Stoker se filosofie vir die teologie

The presupposition from which this article proceeds is the sincere conviction that the philosophy of H.G. Stoker has a significant value for the Reformed theology although this has not as yet been fully exploited. On the contrary - severe criticism, even from within certain circles in Reformed theology, has been launched against Stoker's views. To illustrate the relevancy of Stoker’s philosophy for Reformed theology. I do not deem it necessary to expound his views extensively, but will concentrate only on a few but important and fundamental aspects. In this regard the following aspects are emphasized: the fundamental and indispensable role Scripture plays as a source of knowledge also for theoretical scientific activities; the radical distinction between God and cosmos; by God’s power and sovereignty He gives - through his Word - order and structure to the world and continually imparts existence to his creatures; God's purposes in his work of creation are the basis for all value; in God’s good creation evil has intruded but this is not God’s doing; created in the image of God, man is free and responsible and mandated to rule the earth in obedience to God. The theological implications of these views can be expressed comprehensively in the Biblical concept of the kingdom of God. In conclusion the concept of the kingdom is cursorily examined

Die christelike lewens- en wêreldbeskouing en die toets van die 20e eeu.*

Dat die Christelike lewens- en wêreldbeskouing met die 20e eeu (bedoel word die geestesstrominge van ons tyd) nie bloot deur ’n kopulatiewe,,en” maar deur die woord „toets” met mekaar verbind word, dui op die heel besondere verhouding wat daar tussen beide bestaan. Ons bedoeling is dan ook nie om ’n indringende analise van die een of van die ander te gee nie, maar om die aandag te vestig op die fundamentele antitese tussen beide

Synonchium capense n. sp. from South Africa (Nematoda : Cyatholaimidae)

#Synonchium capense n. sp. provenant de dunes sableuses des côtes d'Afrique du Sud est décrit. Il diffère de l'espèce type, #S. obtusum Cobb, 1920, par la présence de trois dents de même taille à l'apex de chaque mandibule et par l'absence de ponctuations sur la cuticule. La nouvelle espèce est également comparée à #S. depressum Gerlach, 1954 et #S. pacificum Yeates, 1967, et une clé d'identification est proposée pour les quatre espèces connues. La morphologie des papilles labiales et céphaliques et l'anatomie de la gonade mâle chez les espèces du genre sont discutées. Un important organe glandulaire associé au système reproducteur femelle est décrit chez #S. capense$ n. sp. (Résumé d'auteur

A new freshwater species of Theristus from South West Africa/Namibia (Nematoda: Xyalidae)

Theristus tessae n. sp. is described from the Fish River in South West Africa/Namibia. The new species is characterized by a slender, cylindroid body, outer labial setae slightly shorter than lip region diameter, amphideal fovea one third corresponding body diameter, elongate-conoid tail equal to about three fourths the vulva-anus distance, absence of posterior uterine sac. The spicules are equal, slightly bent and barely longer than anal body diameter. T. tessae n.sp. is compared with the cosmopolitan Theristus agilis (de Man, 1880) as well as with all other known athallasic species

New and little known Laimydorinae species from Fynbos in the south-western Cape (Nematoda: Dorylaimidae)

Calcaridorylaimus sirgeli n.sp. is described from Cape Fynbos in mountains in the south-western Cape Province. It differs from all known species in the genus by the presence of advulval ornamentation, and is compared in detail with Calcaridorylaimus signatus (Loot, 1975) and Calcaridorylaimus ruwenzorii (De Coninck, 1935). A single specimen of Drepanodoryiaimus williamsi (Heyns & Kruger, 1983) is compared with specimens from the Transvaal and Mauritius. Mesodorylaimus sp. cf. graciosus Andràssy, 1986 is reported from South Africa for the first time
