Beskrivning
In his De peccato originali (1679), Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) presented his thesis that sex was the original sin and a vital part of human nature. Building on contemporary insights into the history of the text of the Bible, he criticised the hypocritical attitudes among the religious and social elite of his day concerning the biblical text and sexual morality. The work became notorious in the seventeenth century and led to its author’s banishment. In the eighteenth century, it exerted considerable influence on the way in which many in Europe came to see sexuality.This annotated edition with English translation also includes a comprehensive introduction that includes a contextualization of the De peccato originali and its impact.

Recensioner i media

“Capitalising on resurging scholarly interest in Beverland’s story and beliefs, Karen Hollewand and Floris Verhaart have prepared this first translation to make his ideas more understandable and his work more accessible to a wider audience. Beverland is especially significant because he was the first early Enlightenment writer to concentrate on the topic of sex ... an impressive translation of an important work, including a powerful technical apparatus, which promises great insight for those interested in early modern attitudes towards sex and biblical scholarship in the Dutch Republic.”Matthew Baines (Moore Theological College) in Intellectual History Review on May 8th, 2024https://doi.org/10.1080/17496977.2024.2347074
