This article deals with nineteenth-century liberal thought in the  Cape Colony. It argues that both orthodox rationalism and  liberal reason failed to provide the liberal minister  the Rev. D.  Faure with a satisfactory source and standard for theological  thinking. As a basis for this conclusion serves the  correspon- dence between Faure, the first liberal minister who was born in  the Cape, and  the Rev. Peter Huet. The latter  initially was  an  evangelical preacher and poet. Towards the end of their re- spective ministries,  however,  both Faure and Huet evidence  high hopes regarding communications with the spirits of  deceased. This article concludes that although Faure tried his  best to base his theological thinking on human reason only, he  arrived at a dead end and  revelation was desperately needed.  His theological framework collapsing, Faure looked to  spi- ritualism  for answers. The collapse of his theological thinking  reflects unpromisingly on the present New Reformation (Nuwe  Hervorming) movement in South Africa
