On completion of this present work, my second doctoral dissertation, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks: to the Triune God, from Whom and through Whom and to Whom are all things, and Whose victory over all anti-Christian movements such as communism is absolutely secure; to my dear wife Nellie, for lovingly playing this lengthy and cosmologically proportioned score on the keyboard of her typewriter; and to my doctoral promoter the Reverend Professor Doctor P. de B. Kock and my two co-examiners Professor Doctors F. J. H. Wessels and P. J. Heiberg for their profound patience in ploughing through the extensive manuscript; and to my esteemed typesetter, Earl L. Powell of Falls Church, Virginia, for his great patience with me in last-minute amendments and additions in my endeavor to make this book as up-to-date as possible to the glory of God-“his Lord said unto him, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make the ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord’ ” (Matt. 25:21).
