A story of continuity throughout the Reformation appears in the pre-Reformation roots of designs and spatial arrangements of displayed texts, beyond evident and major change. The work is based on a comprehensive inventory of text panels and text paintings installed in churches throughout the Dutch provinces between ca 1575-1800. A North Sea perspective presents text decoration as a universal Protestant phenomenon, which took different forms according to the liturgical and dogmatic requirements of denominations: from English Ten Commandments boards, and catechism altarpieces in churches in the Lutheran Danish Kingdom, to Lutheran text altarpieces that showcase the presence of Calvinism in northwest Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schnell \u0026 Steiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888212525207,"sku":"9783795438296","price":6510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783795438296.webp?v=1781164302","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/to-proclaim-to-instruct-and-to-discipline-the-visuality-of-texts-in-calvinist-churches-in-the-dutch-republic-9783795438296","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
