Albert Geyser

Albertus (Albert) Stephanus Geyser (10 February 1918 – 13 June 1985) was a South African cleric, scholar and anti-apartheid theologian. Geyser was a deeply religious man who died an outcast of the Afrikaner community because of his unshakeable opposition to apartheid. A brilliant scholar with Master's degrees in Greek, Latin and French, he was appointed professor at the age of 27 in the Theological Faculty of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk (NHK) at the University of Pretoria. He paid the price for being one of the first Afrikaner nationalists to speak out against the Broederbond and apartheid on theological grounds. He is also known for his work as one of a number of scholars involved in the first annotated edition (1953–1958) of the Bible in Afrikaans.
