The German town of Emden was, in the sixteenth century, the most
important haven for exiled Dutch Protestants. In this book, based
on unrivalled knowledge of the contemporary archives, Andrew
Pettegree explores the role of Emden as a refuge, a training centre
and, above all, as the major source of Dutch Protestant propaganda.
He also provides a unique and invaluable reconstruction of the
output of Emden's famous printing presses. The emergence of an
independent state in the Netherlands was accompanied by a
transformation in the status of Protestantism from a persecuted
sect to the dominant religious force in the new Dutch republic. Dr
Pettegree shows how the exile churches, the nurseries of Dutch
Calvinism, provided military and financial support for the armies
of William of Orange and models of church organization for the new
state. Emden and the Dutch Revolt is a major scholarly contribution
to our understanding of the origins of the Dutch Republic and the
place of Calvinism in the European Reformation.
