- "Beyers' Naude's prophetic insight during the past twenty years has been vindicated by the decision taken by the World Alliance of Reformed Churches in Ottawa in 1982. We therefore wish to honour him and to dedicate this volume of essays to him and Ilse with respect, admiration and gratitude. In academic circles it is customary to honour a distinguished scholar by publishing a Festschrift on an important occasion in his life. The WARC decision on apartheid provides us with such an opportunity in the case of Beyers Naude". -- Dedication.
- "The decision of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches to declare apartheid sinful and the theological and moral justification of it a heresy, and to suspend the NGK and NHK from their privileges of membership of the world body, is now history. Yet, for our South African Churches, it is only a beginning." -- Foreword.
