[...]theologians such as Hoornbeeck sought to spread the Reformed faith in territories that had previously been evangelized by Roman Catholics or areas of ancient Christian heritage that had been overtaken by Islam. According to the editors, Hoornbeeck's theology was strongly influenced by his former teacher and colleague at Utrecht, Gispertus Voetius, who was mostly concerned with church organization once the so-called heathens had been converted. Hoornbeeck then looked to medieval sources for an expanded natural theology that would forge a common ground with the nations who would not readily accept biblical authority.
