The Christelijke Encyclopedie is a Dutch Christian Encyclopedia which is published by the company J.H. Kok from Kampen, the Netherlands.[1] The first edition appeared in five volumes from 1926 to 1929 with a supplement in 1931, under the redaction of the reformed theologian Frederik Willem Grosheide (1881–1972, father of the later secretary of state Hans Grosheide). A second edition, in six volumes, followed from 1956 to 1961.[2] Both editions are reference works for the Dutch Reformed Church.
In 2005 a third edition appeared in three volumes under the same title, but the word Christian is treated from an ecumenical perspective.[3][4] The authors of the latest edition include Jan Bank, Paul Cliteur, Bart Jan Spruyt, Gert Schutte and Kars Veling. The editor-in-chief was George Harinck.[1]
