The principle of sola Scriptura is one of the four rules of the Reformation movement. Its meaning, however, is not precisely determined. Protestants consider the Bible the only source of Revelation. This is not only a source of knowledge but also source of faith. Contemporary hermeneutics was initiated by Protestant philosophers and theologians. But nowadays it has been accepted and is also being developedby the Catholic theologian. The greatest novelty introduced by the Reformation is not a methodological modification at the noematic level but a difference in the perception of oneself as an interpreting person. The Reformation gave the individual the courage to undermine the rules accepted by the community. The personal activity on the community was put to the fore, and the community's action on the individualwas limited to the necessary minimum. It seems that the slogan sola Scriptura is just an invitation to individualism in interpretation. The principle that puts the Bible directly in the center of community life requires interpretation as every word. It seems that a common agreement on the understanding of this principle by Catholics and Protestants, in which the role of the community in the process of interpretation would be recognized, could open a new chapter in the pursuit of the reunification of Christianity.

It is established that the anti catholic politicalactivity played an important role in spreading of the Polish ethnic values on the sphere of state power and served their further legislation.

The career and posthumous reputation of Andrew Lang (1844–1912) call into question Scottish historiographical conventions of the era following the death of Sir Walter Scott which foreground the apparent triumph of scientific methods over Romance and the professionalisation of the discipline within a university setting. Taking issue with the premise of notions relating to the Strange Death of Scottish History in the mid-nineteenth century, it is proposed that perceptions of Scottish historiographical exceptionalism in a European context and presumptions of Scottish inferiorism stand in need of re-assessment. By offering alternative readings of the reformation, by uncoupling unionism from whiggism, by reaffirming the role of Romance in ‘serious’ Scottish history, and by disrupting distinctions between whig and Jacobite, the historical works and the surviving personal papers of Andrew Lang cast doubt on many conventional grand narratives and the paradigms conventionally used to make sense of Scottish historiography.

AbstractStructural problems of communities affected by the “Slovak Reformation,” issues with accepting the situation or simply the relationships among various cultural phenomena, like literacy or language policies, are key aspects in studying the impact of the Reformation in Hungary, especially with respect to Slovaks. Information gathered from the Reformation had a direct and long-lasting impact on the formation of vernacular language, as well as on the search for and the construction of an ethnic identity. Searching for evidence left by the Slovak presence in the Reformation movement thus presents challenging though notable problems for Slovak historiography. The confessional division and its political as well as cultural implications have evoked long-lasting discussions among historians as well as politicians. This study focuses on the most relevant issues within these processes.

Abstract The article analyses the emergence of decorum (appropriateness) as a central concept of rhetorical theory in the early sixteenth-century writings of Erasmus and Juan Luis Vives. In rhetorical theory, decorum shifted the emphasis from formulaic rules to their creative application in concrete cases. In doing so, it emphasized a close analysis of the rhetorical situation (above all the preferences of the audience) and underscored the persuasive possibilities of civil conversation as opposed to passionate, adversarial rhetoric. The article argues that the stress put on decorum in early sixteenth-century theory is not just an internal development in the history of rhetoric but linked to far wider questions concerning the role of rhetoric in religious and secular lives. Decorum appears as a solution both to the divisiveness of language in the context of the Reformation and dynastic warfare of the early sixteenth century and as an adaptation of the republican tradition of political rhetoric to a changed, monarchical context. Erasmus and Vives maintained that decorum not only suppressed destructive passions and discord, but that it was only through polite and civil rhetoric (or conversation) that a truly effective persuasion was possible in a vast array of contexts.

This chapter evaluates the role of religious exile in the development of confessional Calvinism during the Reformation era. Historians once put considerable emphasis on the widespread experience of exile in encouraging the development of a well-defined international Calvinist movement. This chapter reconsiders this framework from the perspective of theology, ecclesiology, liturgy, discipline, and the relationship to state authority. Drawing on recent research, it argues that, rather than encouraging confessional consolidation, exile was a deeply destabilizing force that helps explain why Reformed Protestantism never developed a unified institutional structure, liturgical practice, or statement of belief.

The discussion about development discourse in a country talking about how an idea affect economic policies. In Indonesia, the development discourse continues to change depending on the ruling regime. After the reformation, the dominant discourse is a neoliberal one that minimizes the role of the state in development. During the reign of Jokowi-JK, however, the role of the state strengthened. The government plans to build a massive infrastructure of the physical economy. The government legitimized its choice of action as the implementation of the Pancasila and Trisakti ideologies. Using the theories of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, this article argues that the state legitimizes its policies as implementing ideology by building infrastructure development discourse, but covers only pragmatic practices that occur. The practices themselves are pragmatic because the government ignored the fate and rights of citizens affected by infrastructure development.

The Reformation movement, led by Prokhanov, swept across Russia and even went beyond its borders. The wave of religious reformation rose most strongly against the background of great social upheavals. The main reasons for the emergence and origin of the evangelical movement described in the article testify to the inevitability of the changes that awaited society. It can be unequivocally stated that the evangelical movement influenced all spheres of life of the people of that period. Despite the fact that for obvious reasons Ivan Prokhanov failed to complete his grand reform project, the appeal to his theological heritage provides an opportunity not only to draw from it valuable information for building a modern Ukrainian state on Christian principles, but also gives us an instructive example of how in order to implement evangelical principles, he used all his natural gifts – theologian, preacher, poet, writer and translator, human rights activist, religious and public figure, evangelical reformer. His experience as a theologian-practitioner can be used to provide a clearly practical orientation to Ukrainian theology, which has confidently embarked on the path of reform and development.
