- Summary:
- Why did the Netherlands, after the Dutch Reformation, emerge as the most religiously tolerant country in Europe? This study claims that the causes lie in the struggle between the Calvinist desire to create a highly organized, disciplined church, and the broad, nonconformist "libertine" alternative.
