The research titled "Protocols of Five Congregations of the Maros Reformed Diocese from 1687: Nyárádselye, Berekeresztúr, Nyárádszentimre, Nyárádszereda, Nyárádszentanna" examines the year 1687 and the Maros Reformed Diocese. The study aims to uncover and analyze the surveys conducted in these mentioned five congregations, which are associated with the specific time period. The research provides a comprehensive overview of the congregations' history, their life within the Reformed Church, and the collected data. Through the analysis and interpretation of primary sources, insights can be gained into the daily lives of the congregations, religious practices, and other characteristics of religious life during this period. The findings of the thesis contribute to the historical and religious research of the Maros Reformed Diocese, helping to understand the characteristics and challenges of the 17th-century Reformed communities in Transylvania.

Miklós Telegdi, a Roman Catholic bishop of the reformation period, was an important figure of his generation. The confessional guide of his Agendarius, first published in 1583 in nagyszombat (Trnava, now in Slovakia), is particular as to its structure and content. in Hungary, this is the first penitential guide that was written in a unique style, including vernacular parts and containing exhortations in a large number. The confessional includes a text discussing the strict obligation on the seal of confession as well as a confession mirror which, according to its genre, is a tool of individual self-examination. In my paper, I attempt to answer the question whether Telegdi’s confessional guide is only unique from a national point of view or also in a wider, international context.

Pál apostol a megváltott ember új életéről vallott nézeteit a Róm 6,1–23-ban fejti ki részletesen. A gonddal megrajzolt képet tovább árnyalja a 8,1–13-ban,1 ahol a Szentlélek munkája felől világítja meg az új élet lényeges vetületeit. Ebből a szempontból a 8,9–11 a szakasz legfontosabb tartalmi egysége.

A Heidelbergi Káté születésének 450. évfordulójára szervezett konferenciánk jó alkalmat nyújt annak áttekintésére is, hogy a nagyváradi református vagy protestáns kötődésű nyomdászat mikor és milyen mértékben járult hozzá kátéirodalmunk gazdagításához, terjesztéséhez.
