| Summary: | Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === This dissertation investigates the incidence of the religious thematics in the work of Afrikaans poets who published around the eighties of the previous century, with specific reference to the Job poems of T.T. Cloete. By using various theoretical works the concept religious was discussed as well as the character of a poem with a religious thematics. Six evaluation principles were formulated which were used to analyse poems in order to establish whether the abstraction, that is religion, was transformed into an independent concrete poem. Works of Du Buisson, Pretorius, Riccio, Santayana, Snyman, Van der Colf and others were used as the theoretical basis.
