Harminus Kuitert belongs to the most known Reformed theologians. He refers in his theology to the thinking of D.F. Schleiermacher, while he stresses the importance of the feeling in the experience of the presence of God. According to Kuitert, a Christian image of God as Creator has been rooted in the humans experience of dependence on the “Power of Reality”. Within the framework of this universal experience, an individual feels an internal call which he recognizes as the sign of the presence of the Creator. The meeting with the “person in need” is declared to be an opportunity to experience God as Creator. God in Christianity is the God of Word, not as the “absent ground of being”. In his reflection on the Creator Kuitert entirely omits Trinitarian and salvation historical perspective. His interpretation of God as Creator is therefore of philosophical nature rather than theological.
