Summary:

Transatlantic Pieties: Dutch Clergy in Colonial America explores the ways in which the lives and careers OF fourteen Dutch Reformed ministers illuminate important aspects of European and American colonial society of their times. Based on primary sources, this collection reexamines some OF the movers and shakers over the course of 250 years. The essays shed light on the high and low tides, the promises and disappointments, and the factors within and beyond the control OF a new society in the making. The portraits humanize and contextualize the lives OF these men who served not only as religious leaders and cultural mediators in colonial communities, but also as important connective tissue in the Dutch Atlantic world.
