Description:
Providing a detailed account of the emergence and development of the public disputations between D.V. Coornhert (1522-1590) and Reformed ministers, this book explores the religious and political dimensions of a controversy that reflects issues and arguments at the core of the Dutch Revolt.
Review Quotes: "impressive [...] I hope that Roobol's study will not only cause a revolution in Coornhert-research, but will also stimulate a re-evaluation of other supposed forerunners of liberal theology in their historical context."
