Although the "precise" date of the beginning of the Nadere Reformatie (and definition, usually known as the "Dutch Further Reformation," more resources for study available here) is open to interpretation, some consider 1608, the year when Willem Teellinck wrote his first work, Philopatris ofte Christelijke Bericht (The Love of Fatherland, or A Christian Report), to be the start of the Nadere Reformatie (some others would trace its beginning earlier to the ministry of Jean Taffin). In any event, the Foundation for the Study of Further Reformation (SSNR) is hosting a commemorative event on September 13, 2008 at the Nieuwe Kerk in Middelburg, the Netherlands. Other events are planned, including a biographical salute to Jacobus Koelman in October. My apologies if any of this information is garbled from my feeble attempts to translate Dutch.
