In the Jubilee History of Queensland, one reads "there are those who credit the discovery of Australia to the time of Alexander the Great, 327 B.C..... There can be little doubt that when Strabo wrote fifty years before Christ, and Pliny in the latter part of the first century, and Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus) in the second, 'of a land of beauty and bounty stretching far to the south of India beyond the equator to an unknown distance' — they...doubtless told the story of some early explorers who...beheld this land. Indeed, there is scarcely a century to be found in which some mention has not been made of this great Southern Land which, in the language of Agathemerus of the third century, 'was the greatest island in the World.'" Professor F.L.W. Wood, in his well-known Concise History of Australia indicates that already in Pre-Christian times the Greeks presumed there might well be a great Southern Continent. Perhaps then, suggests Wood, some descendants of Adam might have travelled as far as the Antipodes and flourished there. Thus too thought Albert the Great (1193-1280) and also even Roger Bacon (1214-1294). Stories from Marco Polo, who returned from China to Venice in 1295, confirmed the Ancient Greek presumption that Terra Australis alias Australasia might very well exist. Renaissance researches in astronomy and hydrography further confirmed the presumption. Thus, by the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries European experts knew that there must be a great Southern Continent. By 1603f, King James the First of England and Scotland had created the "Greater Union" flag — combining England's St. George's cross with Scotland's St. Andrew's cross. Then, in 1605 — just a decade before the Synod of Dordt — the Dutchman Jansz, sent by the Protestant Dutch East India Company to explore what is now the southern coast3 of Indonesia, entered Australia's Gulf of Carpenteria in his ship Duyfken — and followed the coast to Cape Keer-Weer (or Cape 'Turn-Back') in Queensland. <strong>...</strong></p>Lee Francis Nigel - The christian Afrikanersurn:md5:5d35aa0c35d4a170b179757352b9036b2013-12-03T02:02:00+00:002013-12-03T02:25:11+00:00balderLee Francis NigelChristianityEncyclopediaSouth AfricaUnited States <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img2/.Lee_Francis_Nigel_-_The_christian_Afrikaners_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Foreword. by Rev. Owen Fourie, Vice-Chairman, Gospel Defence League, Cape Town, Republic of South Africa. It is with great pleasure that I commend this book to the Christian world at large. These ten lectures constitute the last of a series of twenty-five. They were all originally delivered during 1980 at Geneva Divinity School in Texas, which kindly released the cassette tapes hereof to the Mt. Olive Presbyterian Tape Library in Bassfield, Mississippi. This present book is based on my transcription from those cassette tapes. Miss Nancy Hooper of Griffin, Georgia, USA, who has been assisting Gospel Defence League, typeset the manuscript and did the artwork. A few further observations about this are necessary, especially for readers in the nineteen-nineties. First, the author of these lectures. Dr. Lee was born in Britain (of a South African father) in 1934, but resided in South Africa from the age of seven until his departure in 1967. Dramatically converted in a Welkom goldmine in 1955 - he received his initial tertiary education at the Universities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, the Orange Free State, and Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education. As a Church History Professor who has lived on four continents, Dr. Lee is ideally equipped to give a truly objective evaluation of "The Christian Afrikaners." Second, the time of these lectures. Dr. Lee delivered them in 1980. They represent his perception of the Afrikaners, till his leaving the RSA - together with his ongoing perception of them, while he was living in the USA for eleven years till 1980. He is well aware of developrnents in the RSA since then, but thinks it best - especially for the sake of Afrikaners - to remind them of what they were in 1980 (rather than what some of them had becorne by 1992). Third, the place of these lectures. Dr. Lee delivered them, by special invitation, in Texas - right before he left the USA to take up his present professorship in Australia. American, British, Australian and South African readers are all asked to bear in mind that he was then endeavouring to present his subject in a way easily understandable especially to enquiring Americans. Fourth, the relevance of these lectures. There have been drastic changes in the RSA since Dr. Lee departed in 1967, and especially since he subsequently delivered these lectures in 1980. Yet the writer of this Foreword believes there is great merit in presenting these lectures just as they are - especially in the hope of calling the Afrikaner back to his better values (which are now quite obviously being coinpromised in so many ways). Fifth, the incompleteness of these lectures. It must be remembered they were delivered only after fifteen immediately antecedent studies on the general theme: "The Eschatology of Victory from Adam to the Afrikaners." Those fifteen lectures dealt with the eschatology of victory respectively in: the Old Testament; the Apocrypha; the New Testament; the Apostolic Fathers; the Second- Century Patristics; the Third Century; the Fourth and Fifth Centuries; the Middle Ages to the Protestant Reformation; John Calvin (on the Law of God); John Calvin (on Eschatology); the Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession; John Knox to the Synod of Dordt; Seventeenth- Century Dutch Reformed Thought; Dutch Calvinism from Groen van Prinsterer to Kuyper and Bavinck; and Dutch Calvinism from Willem Geesink to A.A. van Ruler. Hopefully those fifteen antecedent lectures can yet get published at some later time, in order to give the full sweep of Dr. Lee's "Eschatology of Victory from Adam to the Afrikaners." Meantime, may God richly bless the following lectures throughout the Western world ! <strong>...</strong></p>
