Fulfilling God’s Mission: The Two Worlds of Dominie Everardus Bogardus, 1607-1647 de Willem Frijhoff

Fulfilling God’s Mission: The Two Worlds of Dominie Everardus Bogardus, 1607-1647: The Atlantic World, cartea 14

Autor Willem Frijhoff
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2007
This biography recalls the fascinating life of the second Reformed minister of New Amsterdam (present-day New York), Everardus Bogardus, a poor but gifted youth who worked himself upward into the ministry. The first part of the book provides an in-depth analysis of his mystical experience as a 15-year old orphan in his hometown Woerden (Holland) and its significance in the Dutch context. The second part explores Bogardus’s agency in the colonial context and his appropriation of his new fatherland - as a minister among the Europeans, the Native Americans, and the blacks, as a spokesman of the opposition during Kieft’s War, and as a colonist married to the famous Anneke Jans. This biography is conceived as a mentality history of an early modern male individual.

Fulfilling God’s Mission: The Two Worlds of Dominie Everardus Bogardus, 1607-1647 has been granted the 2008 Hendrick's Award.

Recenzii

This study is austere in its avoidance of general conclusions, but exceptionally rich in detail.
James D. Tracy, H-Atlantic (August, 2011)


"I have no hesitation in calling this book brilliant. [...} It is a must-read (and re-read) book."
Jaap Jacobs, de Halve Maen: Journal of The Holland Society of New York, Summer 2008, 37 p.

"Frijhoff is erin geslaagd een inhoudelijk sterk levensverhaal over Bogaert tes schrijven, dat op de boekenplank thuishoort van eenieder die zich serieus bezighoudt met de vroegste geschiedenis van de Nederlands-Amerikaanse betrekkingen."
Enne Koops, Transparant, Jaargang 20, nr. 1-09, p. 53.
