Reviews

“Capitalising on resurging scholarly interest in Beverland’s story and beliefs, Karen Hollewand and Floris Verhaart have prepared this first translation to make his ideas more understandable and his work more accessible to a wider audience. Beverland is especially significant because he was the first early Enlightenment writer to concentrate on the topic of sex ... an impressive translation of an important work, including a powerful technical apparatus, which promises great insight for those interested in early modern attitudes towards sex and biblical scholarship in the Dutch Republic.” Matthew Baines (Moore Theological College) in Intellectual History Review on May 8th, 2024 https://doi.org/10.1080/17496977.2024.2347074
