About Herman Hoeksema

  • Herman Hoeksema (13 March 1886 in Hoogezand – 2 September 1965 in Grand Rapids) was a Dutch Reformed theologian.
  • Hoeksema served as a long time pastor of the First Protestant Reformed Church in Grand Rapids.
  • In 1924 he refused to accept the three points of common grace as formulated which had then been declared official church dogma of the Christian Reformed Church, as an addition to its adopted creeds and confessions.
  • The result of this controversy was that Hoeksema, and ministers George Ophoff, and Henry Danhof, were deposed by their respective classes before leaving the CRC with their congregations.
  • These men then established the Protestant Reformed Churches.
  • He also was professor of theology at the Protestant Reformed Theological School in Grandville, Michigan for 40 years.
