520 |a In this article the reasons for the rise of Anglophone religious (Evangelical) literature in twentieth-century Netherlands are investigated. Publishing was a vital aspect of Evangelicalism and after World War II the Evangelicals reached out to Europe. Protestant church members were interested in the Evangelical movement, not for theological reasons, but for its warm enthusiasm and its fresh atmosphere of renewal. The focus in Dutch post-war culture was on a more dynamic, reflective, and individually experimental religious behavior emphasizing personal and present needs and challenges. Evangelicalism addressed this directly. Its supporters were drawn predominantly from among church members. After some theological resistance the larger Protestant churches gave up their fierce opposition to Evangelicalism in the 1960s and 70s. Anglophone Evangelical books had to be translated into Dutch. General publishers would not publish these books, but over time there were many Protestant publishing houses that did, and they could reach and serve the Evangelical market. Protestant publishing houses avoided publishing books that were more explicitly Evangelical in an American way and stayed away from books that had charismatic and dispensationai undertones. These books were published by Evangelical publishing houses. In the 1990s the differences between Evangelical and Protestant publishing houses almost disappeared. In general, the kind of Evangelical publications that attracted Dutch Protestants were those that were quite similar to what they were used to - with the added advantage of being fresh, less traditional and more personal. The Evangelicals' contribution to religion was a renewal of traditional Protestantism; in the book market, their contribution was diversification.
