In Reformation and the Practice of Toleration, Benjamin Kaplan explains why the Protestant Reformation had this outcome in the Netherlands and how people of different faiths managed subsequently to live together peacefully. Bringing together fourteen essays by the author, the book examines the opposition of so-called Libertines to the aspirations of Calvinist reformers for uniformity and discipline. It analyzes the practical arrangements by which multiple religious groups were accommodated. It traces the dynamics of religious life in Utrecht and other mixed communities. And it explores the relationships that developed between people of different faiths, especially in ‘mixed’ marriages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations  Abbreviations    Introduction  1 “Remnants of the Papal Yoke”: Apathy and Opposition in the Dutch Reformation  2 Hubert Duifhuis and the Nature of Dutch Libertinism  3 Dutch Particularism and the Calvinist Quest for “Holy Uniformity”  4 Confessionalism and Its Limits: Religion in Utrecht, 1600–1650  5 A Clash of Values: The Survival of Utrecht’s Confraternities after the Reformation and the Debate over their Dissolution  6 Possessed by the Devil?
