View source for Buitenpost, Rogerus (ca. 1710-1747)

Rogerus Buitenpost was, like many other Mennonite preachers, a physician, for he wrote a medical dissertation. From his book, <em>Kort Begrip van den Christelijken godsdienst voor de Doopsgezinde gemeente te Krommenie </em>(Amsterdam, 1742), we gather that he must have been the preacher there, although [[Cate, Steven Blaupot ten (1807-1884)|Blaupot ten Cate]] does not include him in his list of preachers at the end of his book, <em>Rede ter gedachtenis van het 300 jarig bestaan van een Doopsgezinde gemeente te Zaandam. </em>He names him rather as the preacher of the neighboring congregation [[Koog aan de Zaan (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Koog]] and Zaandijk. Buitenpost studied at the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Theological Seminary (Kweekschool)|seminary in Amsterdam]]; he matriculated on 24 July 1729. Besides the above booklet he also published <em>Eerste beginselen van de leere des Geloofs </em>(Amsterdam, 1740) and <em>Onderwijzinge in den Christelijken godsdienst </em>(Amsterdam, 1744). He was born ca. 1710 at [[Amsterdam (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Amsterdam]], served at Koog-Zaandijk and [[Krommenie (Noord-Holland, Netherlands)|Krommenie]], and at [[Alkmaar (Noord Holland, Netherlands)|Alkmaar]] 1741-d. 1747.
