Herman Hoeksema was a Dutch Reformed theologian.

Hoeksema was born on March 12th, 1886 at Hoogezand, in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands and immigrated to the USA in 1904. After studying at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids/Michigan, he began his ministerial career in the Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church of Grand Rapids - by this time one of the largest reformed congregations in the United States. In 1924 he refused to accept the three points of common grace, which became official church dogma of the CRC. The result of this controversy was that he and some other ministers with their congregations were put out of the Christian Reformed Church. These men then established the Protestant Reformed Churches.

Hoeksema served as a long time pastor of the First Protestant Reformed Church of Grand Rapids. He also was professor of theology at the Protestant Reformed Theological School in Grandville/MI for 40 years. Herman Hoeksema died in September 1965 at Grand Rapids.

 

Welcome

 

ReformedAudio.org was conceived and developed by Ryan Jankowski and Benjamin C. Richards of Tucson, Arizona. Our goal is to create a resource for thoughtful Christians that provides high quality audio versions of some of the best Christian theological literature. In addition, we also offer pdf versions of many of the books and articles we have recorded. We have learned from our own experience that, while there is no substitute for reading, listening to recorded material is another great way to assimilate good Christian literature.

Since our desire is to see these works disseminated to the widest possible audience, all of our resources are available free of charge. We encourage everyone to download, copy and share these files. We do request that if you post them on your own website, that you acknowledge ReformedAudio.org as the source.
