Inherent Part

BMGN heeft inzake onderzoek en disseminatie van het thema religie een rol van betekenis gespeeld. Die rol nam BMGN veeleer impliciet op, zelden expliciet. Religie stond niet centraal in de redactionele missie, maar was inhoudelijk wel degelijk aanwezig en bij momenten ook heel zichtbaar. Het tijdschrift verbond niet alleen historici, het verbond ook onderzoek van historici en van andere menswetenschappers uit Nederland en Vlaanderen rond het thema religie en stimuleerde op velerlei wijzen de verspreiding van methodologische vernieuwingen en innovatieve inzichten. Jammer genoeg heeft BMGN religie of religiegeschiedenis nooit expliciet geproblematiseerd. Naast een meer klassieke benadering van religie (de werking van de geïnstitutionaliseerde religies of kerken) lag de focus op de rol van religie in het politieke en sociaal-maatschappelijke leven, maar ook in culturele evoluties (identiteitsopbouw of identiteitsconstructies). BMGN dreef veeleer mee met de ontwikkelingen in de religiegeschiedenis, het was geen trendsetter. In deze vaststelling schuilt een uitdaging voor de volgende tien jaar. Bij een feestnummer hoort een wens: religie mag en kan, als inherent onderdeel van de cultuurgeschiedenis, een explicieter onderdeel worden van BMGN. The BMGN has been of great significance in researching and disseminating religion as a theme. The journal tended to assume this role implicitly but rarely did so explicitly. Religion was not pivotal in the editorial mission but indeed present in substance and at times very visible as well. In addition to connecting historians, the journal brought together research by historians, and by extension other scholars of the humanities, from the Netherlands and Flanders in relation to the theme of religion, and encouraged dissemination of methodological innovations and innovative insights in many ways. Unfortunately, the BMGN has never explicitly addressed religion or the history of religion. Aside from a more conventional approach to religion (the effect of institutionalised religions or churches), the main focus was the role of religion in politics and society, as well as in cultural transitions (identity constructions). The BMGN tended to go along with developments in the history of religion and was not a trend setter. This observation embodies a challenge for the decade that lies ahead. A festive issue includes a wish: religion is permissible and acceptable, as an inherent part of cultural history, as a more explicit part of the BMGN.

This paper presents the history of the Donner Institute. The Donner Institute is an institution for the study of the history of religion and culture at the university of Åbo Akademi (Åbo, Finland). It was founded in 1957 following a stipulation in the last will of Mr. and Mrs. Uno Donner of Helsingfors, who died in 1958 and 1956 respectively. Uno Donner had shown an early interest in philosophical questions. During a visit to Egypt at the beginning of this century both he and his wife were impressed by ancient Egyptian culture and certain mysterious aspects of religion. They both seem to have had a firm conviction that intuition is an important way to true knowledge. When, in 1913, an artist friend of theirs, Henry Collison, introduced them to the thinking of Dr. Rudolf Steiner, their interest was easily kindled, and they became eager students of anthroposophy. They visited Dornach near Basel, the center of the anthroposophic movement, several times and made the personal acquaintance of Dr. Steiner. When an Anthroposophic Society was established in Finland in 1922, Uno Donner became its president. The library of the institute possesses an almost complete collection of Dr. Steiner's works and all available works of various anthroposophic authors.
