Petrus van Mastricht (1630-1706)

Adriaan C. Neele, Ph.D. (2005) in Theology, University of Utrecht, taught post-Reformation theology at the University of Pretoria and joined Yale University in 2007. He has published on post-Reformation theology, including The Art of Living to God (Pretoria, 2005), and various articles.

"Petrus van Mastricht is a groundbreaking work and a fresh analysis [...]. Neele’s book provides foundational insight and advances Mastricht’s place within the halls of Reformed orthodoxy, and, as such, is a worthy addition to current academic discussion. [Neele's] attention to detail and multidisciplinary grasp of seventeenth-century issues is impressive and provides a model for future studies". – Randall J. Pederson, on: Scholars' Book Talk (Posted online May 14, 2010)"Neele’s volume is a valuable continuation of the project begun by Richard Muller and others to reassess Reformed orthodoxy through an intensive and extensive investigation of its historical context, intellectual sources, and primary documents. In this Neele succeeds admirably." – James E. Dolezal, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia (PA), in: Themelios 36/1 (May 2011)"Highly recommended!" – Peter Wijnberger, in: Vox Voetianorum 34/4 (2010)
