Calvinists and Libertines - Confession and Community in Utrecht 1578-1620

Zusatztext this study is a valuable contribution to our understanding of religious developments in the formative years of the new Dutch state Zusammenfassung Why did the Netherlands, after the Dutch Reformation, emerge as the most religiously tolerant country in Europe? This study claims that the causes lie in the struggle between the Calvinist desire to create a highly organized, disciplined church, and the broad, nonconformist "libertine" alternative.
