This accessible general history of the Reformation in the
Netherlands traces the key developments in the process of
reformation - both Protestant and Catholic - across the whole of
the Low Countries during the sixteenth century. Synthesizing fifty
years' worth of scholarly literature, Christine Kooi focuses
particularly on the political context of the era: how religious
change took place against the integration and disintegration of the
Habsburg composite state in the Netherlands. Special attention is
given to the Reformation's role in both fomenting and fuelling the
Revolt against the Habsburg regime in the later sixteenth century,
as well as how it contributed to the formation of the region's two
successor states, the Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands.
Reformation in the Low Countries, 1500-1620 is essential reading
for scholars and students of early modern European history,
bringing together specialized, contemporary research on the Low
Countries in one volume.

This book examines the social, political, and religious
relationships between Calvinists and Catholics during Holland's
Golden Age. Although Holland, the largest province of the Dutch
Republic, was officially Calvinist, its population was one of the
most religiously heterogeneous in early modern Europe. The Catholic
Church was officially disestablished in the 1570s, yet by the 1620s
Catholicism underwent a revival, flourishing in a semi-clandestine
private sphere. The book focuses on how Reformed Protestants dealt
with this revived Catholicism, arguing that confessional
coexistence between Calvinists and Catholics operated within a
number of contiguous and overlapping social, political, and
cultural spaces. The result was a paradox: a society that was at
once Calvinist and pluralist. Christine Kooi maps the daily
interactions between people of different faiths and examines how
religious boundaries were negotiated during an era of tumultuous
religious change.
