Fél évszázados a nyugati keresztyén egyház reformációja
Hundred Years Passed since the Western Christian Church was Reformed

Summary/Abstract: The Reformation meant a crucial event in the history of Europe: not only a renewal in the spiritual life of the Christian church, but also deep cultural and social changes, which had a great impact on the whole life of the Continent. This is why the review Korunk dedicates this issue to this anniversary. The introduction deals with pre-Reformation, the influence of humanist endeavours, the goals of the movement, its main events and representatives, its spread in Europe and influence on Transylvanian cultural life. By laying stress on personal faith, Luther served the strengthening of personal responsibility, and through the idea of the universal ministry he helped the inclusion of lay members in the Church. From a social point of view, this process started the formation of national states in Europe. From a cultural point of view, the influence of the Reformation on the formation of national languages and literatures was most decisive.
