"Catholics, Calvinists, Mennonites, Arminians, Libertines: the Dutch Republic has always been renowned for its religious diversity. This book asks a simple but novel question: why did individual Dutch believers decide to join, or not to join, one of the many Churches, and what consequences did these decisions have for their lives? It addresses this problem through the unique collection of autobiographical writings of the Utrecht lawyer Arnoldus Buchelius (1565-1641). Raised a Catholic, he was for some time without any religious affiliation, then became a Libertine Protestant, and ultimately developed into a committed Contra-Remonstrant Calvinist."--BOOK JACKET.
