Missionary Career
Sensing a call to be a missionary, Bosch changed to the Theological school and graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity and a Master of Arts in languages (Afrikaans, Dutch, German). He then went to Switzerland to study for his doctorate in the field of New Testament at the University of Basel, under Oscar Cullmann, who influenced Bosch to accommodate more ecumenism.
In 1957 Bosch began a decade working as a missionary with the Dutch Reformed Church planting churches in the Transkei.

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
