Calvinism in the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth 1548–1648: The Churches and the Faithful de Kazimierz Bem

Calvinism in the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth 1548–1648: The Churches and the Faithful: St Andrews Studies in Reformation History

Autor Kazimierz Bem
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 mai 2020
Calvinism in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 1548–1648 offers an in-depth history of the Reformed Churches in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in their first hundred years. 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.
Drawing on extensive research in primary sources, Bem challenges the dominant narrative of Protestant decline after 1570 and argues for a continued flourishing of Calvinism in the Commonwealth until the 1630s.

Recenzii

"This handsome volume is a pleasure to handle (---) The attractive presentation is enhanced by the clarity of the work’s structure. (---) [Bem's] unconcealed sympathies and convictions have not hindered him from writing the first modern historical synthesis in any language of Calvinism, broadly understood, in the entire Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It can be recommended to all scholars and advanced students interested in the history of the Reformation in Europe."
- prof. Wioletta Pawlikowska Butterwick, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

"This is the first scholarly monograph of the Reformed Churches in Poland-Lithuania in the period of the Reformation’s growth down through the beginning of its decline. (...) It is also a merit of the book to have drawn our attention to the manifold roles women played in Reformed congregations of the Commonwealth."
- prof. Waldemar Kowalski, Religious Studies Review
