330 .. $a How did Reformed Christianity, the public faith of the Netherlands, influence the
Dutch experience abroad? How did the Reformed Church and the West India Company (WIC)
interact in each setting? What effect did the major religious issues and divisions
of the period have on the WIC and its directors, merchants, employees, settlers, and
indigenous allies? Conversely, what effect did expansion have on Dutch Calvinism?
In answering these and other questions, D. L. Noorlander argues against prevailing
understandings of the role of religion in the Dutch colonial enterprise, finding that
the Dutch Reformed Church was integral to Dutch colonialism. The stereotype of the
Dutch merchant is a man unconcerned with differences in theological doctrine and political
ideology so long as business was brisk. Although this has some merit in the history
of New Amsterdam, the broader colonial effort in the Atlantic and, indeed, around
the globe was far more closely connected to religious institutions, doctrine, authority,
and practice. So whereas the easy answer regarding the failure of the Dutch to set
up a durable empire in North America supposes a causal connection between dominant
commercial interest and the lack of concern for the settlements and religious missions
that animated other European colonization efforts, Noorlander shows that one needs
to look elsewhere for the causes of that failure. In so doing, he revises some core
notions about the organization and aims of Dutch empire, the culture of the West India
Company, and the very shape of Dutch society.
