About the author
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, Wilma, now live in Mossel Bay. They have two married sons.
As the son of a missionary, the late Rev. J.S. Malan, Johan was taught by his parents to revere the Bible as the inerrant and literally inspired Word of God. This resulted, among others, in accepting Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah and Saviour of the world, while also literally accepting the hundreds of biblical prophecies related to the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel as the Chosen People.
Johan combined his biblical interest in Israel with his scientific research of various cultures, including that of the Jewish people. In 1993, he and his wife visited various kibbutzim and moshavim in Israel to conduct research on communal lifestyles (Malan, 1994, 1995). The following kibbutzes and other communal villages were visited where relevant information was kindly supplied by members of the various management committees: Ramat Rachel on the southern outskirts of Jerusalem, Neve Ilan (meshek) and Shoresh (moshav) on the Judean hills west of Jerusalem, Ein Gedi on the shores of the Dead Sea, Nof Ginosar on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret), Ein Gev at the foot of the Golan Heights east of the Sea of Galilee, and Lavi on the mountains of Lower Galilee.
Supplementary information was acquired from Yad Tabenkin, the Research and Documentation Centre of the United Kibbutz Movement, while a literature study was conducted in the library of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Information on the religious principles of orthodox kibbutzim was gained from Rabbi A.L. Jacobs of East Talpiot in Jerusalem. Various Messianic Jews were consulted, as well as staff members of the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem.
Johan’s biblical interest in Israel gave rise to the writing of various articles and books, many of which are made available on his website: www.bibleguidance.co.za/.
