Summary/Abstract: The Polish Evangelical opinion-forming circles within the interwar period presented their opinions in the Evangelical press, among others, “Głos Ewangelicki” (Evangelical Voice) and “Zwiastun Ewangelicki” (Evangelical Herald). For the Polish people then Reformation time was the period of building up foundations for the Polish Protestantism. Efforts were focused on strengthening their sense of both Polish as well as Protestant identity and witnessing the Polish roots of the Polish Protestantism. Much space was dedicated to the person of Martin Luther, importance of Reformation for the development of the Polish culture and national language. The fall of the reformation movement and its various trends were considered. Approach to the achievements of Reformation both in European and Polish dimensions was pretty uncritical – as it was the God’s work and gave people, including Poles “true” faith.
