Reender Kranenborg (born 1942-2020) is a former editor of the magazine Religious Movement in the Netherlands published by the institute of religious studies of the Free University in Amsterdam. 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. He had, until his retirement, a seat at the Comitato Scientifico (scientific committee) of the CESNUR.
