With the publication of hismonumental four-volume work .The World Bewitched. Bekker arguedagainst the temporal activity of the devil and evil spirits as well asagainst the reality of witchcraft, sorcery, and spirit possession. YetBekker‘s ideas drew opposition from Dutch Reformed clergymen whocharged that his use of Cartesian philosophy to reject the temporalactivity of spirits threatened much of traditional religious faith..This book argues that it wa Bekker‘s exegesis of biblical passages inwhich spirits and spirit activity were mentioned that was a fargreater threat than his Cartesian metaphysics to the literalinterpretation of the Bible which was the intellectual cornerstone ofDutch reformed confessionalism, dominant in the church since the Synodof Dordrecht (1618-1619).
