Description: Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 1994. paperback, 243 pp..

In fifteen articles North American, Polish and Dutch scholars deal with interesting aspects of Mennonite contributions to the rich history of Dutch culture, literature and way of thinking, as well as to its church history and social economic history.)
