Very scarce early justification of apartheid. Title in English would be "Just Racial Apartheid".

Written by a senior lecturer in Sociology at the University of Pretoria in collaboration with Dr William Nicol, the Moderator of the Nederduits Hervormde of Geroformeerde Kerk van Suid-Afrika: and Prof. E.P. Groenewald, a senior lecturer in New Testament Exegesis and Theology for the NGK at the University of Pretoria.

In the book Dr. Cronje writes:

  1. “The division of the human race into races, peoples and languages is a conscious act of God”;
  2. “The Lord wants separate peoples to continue to maintain their apartheid”;
  3. “Apartheid extends across the entire spectrum of public life”;
  4. “The social division between peoples is accepted by Jesus Christ”; and “God's blessing rests on the respect for apartheid.”

These views formed the basis of the National Party policies implemented by Verwoerd in1948.
