This book – edited by Herman Selderhuis – is being translated into English and will be published in due course by the great folk at Vandenhoeck and Ruprecht. The tentative title (at present) is Handbook of Dutch Church History. When V&R have it listed on their website I’ll pass along word.
In Dutch it’s a massive volume, at nearly 1000 pages. Doubtless the English edition will be similarly sized. Consequently, it’s very thorough.
Dr. theol. Herman J. Selderhuis is Professor of Church History at the Theological University Apeldoorn, Director of Refo500, scientific Curator of the Johannes a Lasco Library, and President of the International Calvin congress. And an all around great guy.
Keep your eye out for this when it does come out.
It will probably be a less than a thousand pages, English being a more compact language than Dutch.
Thanks for the heads up on this giant, Jim.
This is fantastic! As an erstwhile communicant of the Dutch Reformed church who still maintains a lively interest in its history, both in the homeland and in the emigration, I eagerly look forward to this.
