Summary / Abstract:

LTKalvinisto pastoriaus knygoje pateikiama reformatų bažnyčių istorija Abiejų Tautų Respublikoje. Nagrinėjama bažnytinė politika, liturgija, svarbios kalvinistų bažnyčios drausmės ir pamaldumo praktikos. Svarstoma, kodėl visų luomų žmonės galėdavo atsiversti į kalvinizmą. Remiantis išsamiais pirminių šaltinių tyrimais, prieštaraujama nusistovėjusiai nuomonei, kad kalvinizmas Abiejų Tautų Respublikoje patyrė nuosmukį jau 1570 metais, ir teigiama, kad jis klestėjo iki XVII a. ketvirto dešimtmečio.

ENCalvinism in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 1548-1648 offers an in-depth history of the Reformed Churches in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in its first hundred years. Dr. Kazimierz Bem analyses church polity, liturgy, the practices of Calvinist church discipline and piety, and the reasons for conversion to and from Calvinism in all strata of the society. It offers a detailed history of the three Reformed Churches. Drawing on extensive research in primary sources, Dr. Bem challenges the dominant narrative of Protestant decline after 1570 and argues for a continued flourishing of Calvinism in the Commonwealth until the 1630s.
