Towards
the end of the 16th century a movement emerged within the Dutch Reformed
Church, which was a reaction to a perceived lack of, or at least a
declension of, living faith. Not only promoting personal godliness
but also encouraging devout communal life, this movement was known
as reformed pietism. The reformed pietists believed that reformation
of doctrine should manifest itself in reformation of morals. This
attention to the outworking of doctrine in daily life produced what
has been called the Dutch 'Further Reformation' (Nadere Reformatie),
which may be thought of as the final development of the reformed Pietistic
movement, so far as the pursuit of visible godliness was concerned.
The man who was first to publish a complete reformation program and
also sought to promote reformation at all levels of society was Willem
Teellinck. William Teellinck was born in 1579 in Zierikzee, in the providence of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Teellinck studied law in 1593 at Leiden and after completing his studies, visited foreign universities over a seven year period. And so we find him studying at St. Andrews in Scotland in 1600 and at Poitiers in France from 1601-03, where he graduated in law as "Licentiate and Doctor utriusque luris"; later in England, sojourning amongst the Puritans which determined the rest of his life. Without doubt, we find here the historical root of the characteristics of the Further Reformation. According to his son Maximilliaan, Willem Teellinck wrote a total of 127 books. Of these, 62 were published, including translations of three puritan works: two by Whately and one by Perkins. The translation of Willem Teellinck's works have become the life-long work and ambition of Dr. Annemie Godbehere, who is a Dutch national but has lived in the U.K. for many years. Dr. Godbehere is the translator and reader of this audio book. |
