Intro; Title Page; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Chapter 1: The Place of Catechism in the Transplantation of Calvinism in the East Indies; Chapter 2: The Sermons of Wiltens and Danckaerts as Tools for the Early Establishment of Calvinism in the East Indies; Chapter 3: The Sermons of Franchois Caron as Further Reinforcement of the Establishment of Calvinism in the East Indies; Chapter 4: Intersection of Doctrine and Christian Conducts in Caron's Sermons on the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer; Chapter 5: Transfer of Reformed Religious Concepts in the East Indies; Conclusion
This book explores the introduction and transplantation of Calvinism to the Dutch East Indies in the seventeenth century through close analysis of the earliest Malay translations of Reformed catechisms and printed sermons written by Dutch ministers working in the archipelago. This book shows how these ministers introduced, taught, and explained the main teachings of Calvinism to the people of the Dutch East Indies in a language they could understand, as well as the challenges these ministers encountered as they moved forward in their efforts to spread the gospel to the people.
