The nature of and criteria for dogmatic hymns. Three versifications by Schutte (A.G.S.) Venter
In this article the nature of dogmatic hymns is discussed and it is indicated how dogmatic hymns have functioned during the course of church history. Taking this investigation as point of departure, criteria are formulated to be used in the evaluation of dogmatic hymns – also in the evaluation of the contents of three versifications by Schutte Venter.
The 2000 Synod of the Reformed Churches in South Africa discussed the possibility of and need for dogmatic hymns, and took notice of some guidelines in this regard. Schutte Venter consequently versified sections of the confessions of faith and formulae for wedding ceremonies in an attempt to meet this need.
