Summary/Abstract: Răspuns împotriva Catihismusului calvinesc is a polemic text by Metropolitan Varlaam, printed in the 17th century. In this text, Varlaam combats the ideas of a Calvinist text that appeared at that time, so he builds his argumentative discourse on the basis of biblical quotations, the truth of which cannot be questioned. Moreover, through the examples he offers, Varlaam guides the receivers to interpret the sacred text in accordance with the norms of the Orthodox faith and the Eastern patristic tradition.
