- ItemOpen AccessCsendes esték. A holland szigorú reformátusok és a magyar reformátusok(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Hittudományi Kar Egyháztörténeti Kutatóintézet, 2025) Pusztai Gábor; DE - Bölcsészettudományi KarOne of the high points of Dutch-Hungarian relations dates back to the 1920s and 1930s. This conjuncture began with the so-called “children’s trains”, an aid operation on a gigantic scale, in the emergency period of post-Trianon Hungary. Between 1920 and 1930, tens of thousands of Hungarian children were allowed to holiday, rest and recover from the trauma of war in Dutch foster homes. The revitalised relations were also reflected in the church. The neo-Calvinism, represented by the Dutch “strict” Reformed Church (Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland) known in Hungary primarily as “historical Calvinism”, also found Hungarian followers. The most prominent among them was the theological professor from Budapest, Jenő Sebestyén (1884–1950. In this paper, we will discuss one of the publications on Dutch neo-Calvinism, the booklet by Gerda Jakosné Nederbragt: Pictures from the Life of the Dutch Reformed People, published as the fourth booklet in the series Silent Evenings, edited by the Reformed pastor Géza Pap. On this occasion, I would like to talk about the not always smooth relationship between neo-Calvinism and the Hungarian Reformed Church, which also harboured the danger of a church split in Hungary.

- ItemOpen AccessMozaikok a Táci Református Egyházközség történetéből a kezdetektől az 1730-as évekig(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Hittudományi Kar Egyháztörténeti Kutatóintézet, 2026) Borsos Mátyás; Történelemtudományi Doktori Iskola; Károli Gáspár Református EgyetemThe village of Tác in Fejér County was founded in the 1670s following the destruction of the medieval Föveny settlement. There are no surviving records detailing the early organisation of the church, and identifying the first three ministers has proven difficult. This changed in 1689 when András Patai arrived in the village and started to keep the parish register. His records provide insight into the life of a community that had just been freed from Ottoman rule. A school was built in 1691, and a new church was erected on the site of the old one in 1696. This church still stands today. Unfortunately, during the War of Independence under Rákóczi, the parish register fell into foreign hands and was not recovered until the late 1730s. Alongside the register entries, this study also includes two letters written in the 1720s by János Jámbor, the parish priest of Ozora. In these letters, he complains about Bálint Balassa, the notary of Tác. These texts may offer useful information for researching the history of the church during this period, particularly for studies focusing on individuals’ lives and careers (prosopography).

Using an unusually complete collection of archival sources (including interrogation records, ministerial correspondence and two incriminating private letters), the paper reconstructs the disciplinary process from the initial suspicions to the diocese’s final verdict. The study demonstrates how the ecclesiastical authorities dealt with moral transgressions when the accused was an office-holder responsible for enforcing communal norms, and contextualises the affair within the broader patterns of contemporary Reformed disciplinary practice.
- ItemOpen AccessSztárai Mihály a világi felsőbbségről(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem Hittudományi Kar Egyháztörténeti Kutatóintézet, 2026) Marco de Leeuw van Weenen; Protestáns Politikatörténeti Kutatócsoport; Károli Gáspár Református EgyetemMihály Sztárai, a Hungarian reformer, is best known for establishing 120 Protestant churches in southern Hungary, which was under Ottoman rule at the time. He also wrote two dramas and historical poems based on biblical, church and secular stories. His earliest surviving work is an account of a Hungarian nobleman’s son escaping from Ottoman captivity. By closely examining Sztárai’s works, we can discern his views on worldly authority. While the influence of Erasmus can be seen in his first work, his point of view is predominantly shaped by the Bible and Reformed teaching. Sztárai viewed the church and worldly authority as two parallel entities, each with their own area of influence. Ideally, the king should love the Bible, support the Church, and promote education and science. When Christians unanimously elect a God-fearing he is a tyrant, they can turn to God in prayer. God can even change the mind of a pagan emperor or cause the enemy to be defeated in battle. Overall, this was the general opinion on worldly authority during the Reformation.

Therefore, after he was tried by an atheist, religiously oppressive power and then sentenced to prison in a camp, one of the most severe sentences for him, in addition to exile, starvation, cold and hard physical labor, was the prohibition of the use of the Holy Scriptures. He had to go without the Bible for many months before he was able to read it again, thousands of miles away from home, thanks to his wife’s ingenuity. Even after being released from the camp, it was a matter of his heart that in a country where the publication and use of religious books is prohibited, the Reformed people could get a Bible with the help of foreign supporters.
