Texts
dr
Piet van Veldhuizen
This page shows a project
in its very beginnings.
Nearly all of my texts were written originally in Dutch. They have been published
in periodicals like Interpretatie,
a 6-weekly journal for exegesis and biblical theology read by church ministers,
lay preachers and Bible students.
Currently, I am
translating a number of these texts into English.
You can see below which texts I have selected for translation. Whenever a title
is highlighted as a
hyperlink, the English text is available.
I apologize for the poor quality of some translations, as not all texts have as
yet been checked by native speakers.
I will be grateful for
any suggestions to improve the texts.
Also, readers may suggest which of the articles should
be marked for priority translation.
To do so, just send an e-mail.

references) (if no hyperlink is showing,
