Table Of ContentIntroduction Michiel van Groesen Religious Toleration in Dutch Brazil (1624-1654) Jonathan Israel Portuguese Attitudes of Religious Tolerance in Dutch Brazil Stuart B. Schwartz
SynopsisTwo renowned historians address the issue of religious tolerance in the Dutch-ruled Brazil in the seventeenth century. The reputation of the Dutch for religious tolerance was never more justified than in their Brazilian colony, where Catholics and Jews coexisted peacefully alongside the Protestants, all enjoying freedom of religious belief and practice. This tolerance was not exclusive to the Dutch: the Portuguese in Brazil likewise accepted various forms religious worship., Of all the European powers, the Dutch were considered the most tolerant of minority religious practices in their colonies. In The Expansion of Tolerance , a pair of historians examines this unusual sensitivity in the case of the seventeenth-century Dutch colonies of Brazil. Jonathan Israel demonstrates that religious tolerance under Dutch rule in Brazil was unprecedented. Catholics and Jews coexisted peacefully with the Protestant majority and were allowed freedom of conscience and unfettered private worship. Stuart Schwartz then considers the Dutch example in light of the Portuguese colonies in Brazil, revealing that the Portuguese were surprisingly tolerant as well. This collaboration will be of interest to anyone studying colonial history or the history of religious tolerance., Of all the European powers, the Dutch were considered the most tolerant of minority religious practices in their colonies.
