"In the course of our project we organized an international conference which took place in Utrecht from 30 August to 1 September 2012, under the title 'God's Word Questioned : Biblical Criticism and Scriptural Authority in the Dutch Golden Age'....The present volume offers the harvest of that lively and stimulating event. It incorporates edited versions of most of the papers read at the conference, as well as some invited chapters by other scholars."--Preface, p. [v].

Includes bibliography (p. [393]-430) and indexes.
