Shaping the Stranger Churches
Migrants in England and the Troubles in the Netherlands, 1547â1585
Series: - Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, Volume: 224
Author:
In Shaping the Stranger Churches: Migrants in England and the Troubles in the Netherlands, 1547â1585, Silke Muylaert explores the struggles confronting the Netherlandish churches in England when they engaged with (or disengaged from) the Reformation and the Revolt back in their homeland. The churches were conflicted over the limits of religious zeal and over political loyalty. How far could Reformers go to promote their faith without committing sin? How much loyalty did they owe to Philip II and William of Orange? While previous narratives ascribe a certain radicalism to the foreign churches, Muylaert uncovers the difficulties confronting expatriate churches to provide support for Reformed churches or organise resistance against authorities back home.
Silke Muylaert, Ph.D. (2017, University of Kent) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She was awarded the Huguenot Scholarship in 2015. Her research has focused on the Brugesâ goldsmith guild, migration history, and, more recently, on the influences of exiles and mobility on the religious landscape of the Dutch Republic.
