. A few days ago (2023 1218 mo) I refound the Dutch translation in my home. I suppose it came from the bookchange on Utrecht Centraal, some years ago.
I looked at the book and I think it's rather nice and unique. Of course De Waarheidsvriend (a friendly orthodox weekly paper of the most orthodox and conservative wing in PKN) was not amused, but through nice, learned and gründlich they are hardly very inspiring). The book is fiction with knowledge research.
