Carl Borchardt en die Suid-Afrikaanse kerkgeskiedenis

Abstract

Carl Borchardt and South African church history

Carl Borchardt was in the first instance a general church historian who specialised in the field of the Early Church. However, born as a South African, he did not only do some research in the field of South African church history but he even partook in some crucial events in modem South African church history. This article attempts to describe and explain his interest and involvement in South African church history.
