He received his Phd. in the theological faculty about the subject of Self-realization. He stated in the dissertation that he had attempted to research the subject following the norms of religious studies, not a theological one. [ Zelfverwerkelijking: oosterse religies binnen een westerse subcultuur (1974) uitgegeven door J.H Kok Kampen Ph.D. dissertation page 8
Misschien zullen velen verwachten in een studie zoals deze, die plaatsvindt binnen de theologische fakulteit een theologisch slothoofdstuk aan te treffen. Men zal dit echter tevergeefs zoeken want deze studie wil godsdienstwetenschappelijk zijn [..] ]

Kranenborg stated in 1992 that he had received a letter from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (Dutch: "Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek" abbreviated as NWO) stating that the magazine met international quality standards.

"Van de redactie"/"From the editors"
