Dirk Harting, a Dutch Mennonite theologian, b. 1817 at Rotterdam, d. 1892 at Enkhuizen, studied philology and later theology, was the minister of the Enkhuizen congregation 1840-88. From his pen flowed a number of important scholarly works, many of them in the field of the New Testament; in 1848 a treatise on the genuineness of Ephesians (received a prize from the Hague Society), and in 1863 a Greek-Dutch Dictionary of the New Testament. He also participated in the new translation of the Bible instituted by the Dutch Reformed Church. His versatility is shown in numerous articles in periodicals. He was a journalist in the best sense of the word, e.g., one of the founders of the Enkhuizer Courant in 1870. He wrote excellent articles on music. He was also familiar with the field of Mennonite history. In 1850 he published De Munstersche furie of het oproer der Wederdoopers. In 1861-1671 he and P. Cool edited the Doopsgezinde Bijdragen, in which a number of his articles are found. He also wrote a Levensbericht (Leiden, 1870) of his friend G. Vissering. His services to scholarship are generally acknowledged. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Science, and in 1849 he received an honorary doctor's degree from the University of Utrecht. His service for and influence on elementary education was recognized by his appointment as an honorary member of the Dutch Educational Association. In 1888 he retired. When he died in 1889 the world lost a versatile scholar, a truly "cultured man." He had occupied a position of honor in the Mennonite churches of the 19th century.
