The Literature of the Arminian Controversy highlights the
importance of the Arminian Controversy (1609-1619) for the
understanding of the literary and intellectual culture of the Dutch
Golden Age. Taking into account a wide array of sources, ranging
from theological and juridical treatises, to pamphlets, plays and
and libel poetry, it offers not only a deeper contextualisation of
some of the most canonical works of the period, such as the works
of Dirck Volckertz. Coornhert, Hugo Grotius and Joost van den
Vondel, but also invites the reader to rethink the way we view the
relation between literature and theology in early modern culture.
The book argues how the controversy over divine predestination
acted as a catalyst for literary and cultural change, tracing the
impact of disputed ideas on grace and will, religious toleration
and the rights of the civil magistrate in satirical literature,
poetry and plays. Conversely, it reads the theological and
political works as literature, by examining the rhetoric and tropes
of religious controversy. Analysing the way in which literature
shapes the political and religious imaginary, it allows us to look
beyond the history of doctrine, or the history of political rights,
to include the emotive and imaginative power of such narrative,
myth and metaphor.
