About This Book
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference 'Hugo Grotius as a Theologian' (1992), held at the occasion of the retirement of professor Guillaume H.M. Posthumus Meyjes, the editor of Grotius' Meletius. The volume contains thirteen lectures, divided into three sections. In the first all Grotius' main theological works are discussed.
The second section presents studies of Grotius' relationship to Erasmus, his polemics with Andre Rivet, his views on scholarly and religious developments in contemporary France, and his opinions on Jews and Judaism. Four lectures on the reception of Grotius' theological thought in the 17th and 18th centuries in Great Britain, Switzerland and the Netherlands, constitute the third section. In the appendix, a bibliography on the theme 'Grotius as a theologian' is provided.
