Summary/Abstract: Matthias Flacius Illyricus is reputed as one of the most influential Croatian humanists and theologians of the 16th century. Through his numerous works he gave an efficient theological, philosophical, historical, linguistic and educational contribution to the European cultural history. Besides the concise review of Flacius’ life, the article discusses about the truth as Vlacius’ starting point in his deliberation and life in general. Then it focuses on Flacius’ spiritual/theological struggle for freedom of the Church, which contributed greatly to the defeat of the pro-Catholic politics of the emperor Charles V and the survival of the Lutheran tradition of the Reformation in the German countries.
