| Summary: | The London stranger churches in the international Reformation, 1547-1565 -- Between dissent and cooperation : relations between the foreign churches in England and connections with the Low Countries -- The entanglements of stranger churches with growing resistance in the Low Countries, 1560-1565 -- The impact of the Wonderjaar (1566) on the stranger churches -- The foreign churches and the Dutch Revolt, 1567-1585 -- The foreign churches and the Reformation, 1567-1585. "In Shaping the Stranger Churches: Migrants in England and the Troubles in the Netherlands, 1547-1585, 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"-- |
