In August 1978, Johan Malan was appointed professor of Anthropology at the University of the North (presently the University of Limpopo) near Polokwane in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, and in January 2006 he retired. He and his wife now live in Mossel Bay. They have two married sons.
As the son of a missionary, the late Rev. J.S. Malan of the Dutch Reformed Church, Johan, from a very young age, received thorough training in the Bible at home. This knowledge gave rise to an experience of rebirth which he had in 1972, when he surrendered his life completely to the Lord Jesus. He regards himself as an evangelical Christian who observes the literal, grammatical-historical method of interpreting the Bible. Even where symbols are used in Scripture, he maintains that they mostly have a literal antitype, e.g. the Lamb which refers to Christ, the beast with the seven heads, which is a metaphoric description of the Antichrist, and the dragon which is a symbol of the devil.
Johan has adapted his academic career to his Christian worldview, and consequently did not accept or teach the theory of biological evolution. Through self-study he further qualified himself in theology and started a part-time Christian ministry. His Christian outreaches are interdenominational, mainly by way of the Internet, but also through the distribution of books and other publications in printed form, and he visits organised groups on invitation. On his website are currently articles and books in eight languages: English, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Swahili, Finnish, Estonian, German, and Russian.
As a cultural anthropologist, and also as a Bible scholar, Johan took a special interest in the people of Israel. In 1993, he and his wife visited various kibbutzim in Israel, where he conducted research on communal farming and also wrote two articles on this subject for a scientific journal (Malan, 1994, 1995). At the same time, Johan made contact with Messianic Jews in Israel. One of them later translated his book on Israel into Russian, mainly for distribution among the large number of Russian-speaking Jews who immigrated to Israel. Visits to Finland and Estonia gave rise to the translation of some of his books into Finnish and Estonian.
Johan’s interest in Christology is mainly based upon the clear, Biblical teaching on who Jesus Christ is and what he has done in the interest of our salvation. The relevance of a study of this nature has increased due to the growing movement in favour of a “historical Jesus” who does not have the divine attributes which the Bible ascribes to the true Jesus. It is in the interest of each of us to gain clarity on this very important matter.
