The study examines a topic in the work of the church historian Zoltán Gálfy (1924–2013): how the renowned professor from Cluj-Napoca interpreted the impact of the Reformation on the life of the society, with special regard to its democratic features, what social dynamics influenced the development of the Reformation in the 16th century, and what consequences had the renewal of faith on the environment of the church. The paper compares the work of the young theologian, only 25 years old, with his later writings under the communist-socialist regime and his scholarly achievements after the change of regime in 1989/90. It can be concluded that Gálfy, in the face of the danger of contextualizing theological scholarship, reached conclusions that are still relevant today. For example, the recognition he often makes – in line with recent European Reformation scholarship – that the Reformation has brought radical changes in four areas: the interpretation of the Bible, the personal experience of faith, the definition of the function of the church, and the relationship of Christianity to the world. In conclusion, Gálfy’s contribution should be seen as emphasizing that, despite all the social influences and counter-effects, it is useful to pay attention to the theological dimensions of the Reformation, to a careful reading of the original sources, and to the fact that “it is not a question of moving into the Reformation building but of rebuilding it in every age”, i.e. that each generation should come to an actualization of the Reformation heritage in its own context. true 2025 true false true false false NONE 2026-01-09 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Q2 false false false false 2025-10-14T13:53:37.467+0000 Debreceni Református Hittudományi Egyetem 1 4 1 1 0 false Language 10001 /api/language/10001 Magyar Hungarian true 1 true PersonAuthorship 127311753 /api/authorship/127311753 1 1.0 true false false Author 10010898 /api/author/10010898 Fazakas Sándor true 10010898 true FAZAKAS Sándor true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 29611991 /api/publicationidentifier/29611991 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true 10.24193/subbtref.70.1.03 https://doi.org/10.24193/subbtref.70.1.03 false true PublicationIdentifier 29611992 /api/publicationidentifier/29611992 PlainSource 40 /api/publicationsource/40 PublicationSourceType 10006 /api/publicationsourcetype/10006 true true true Egyéb URL Other URL @@@ true true 40 true https://studia.reviste.ubbcluj.ro/index.php/subbtheologiareformata/article/view/9365 https://studia.reviste.ubbcluj.ro/index.php/subbtheologiareformata/article/view/9365 false true SjrRating 11619543 /api/sjrrating/11619543 263 0.49 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 1212 /api/classificationexternal/1212 true 1212 true Q2 FROM_LAST_YEAR true true /api/publication/36252806 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Forrásközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-core-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" mtid="10010898"><a href="/gui2/?type=authors&mode=browse&sel=10010898" target="_blank">FAZAKAS Sándor (<span class="authorship-author-name">Fazakas Sándor</span> <span class="authorAux-mtmt"> Teológia</span>) </a> </span> <span class="author-affil">Debrecen Reformed Theological University</span> </div> </div> <div class="title"><a href="/gui2/?mode=browse&params=publication;36252806" target="_blank">Reformáció, társadalomszemlélet, demokrácia – Gálfy Zoltán olvasatában…</a></div> <div> <span class="journal-title">STUDIA UNIVERSITATIS BABES-BOLYAI THEOLOGIA REFORMATA TRANSYLVANICA</span> <span class="journal-issn">(<a target="_blank" href="https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/1582-5418">1582-5418</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2065-9482">2065-9482</a>)</span>: <span class="journal-volume">70</span> <span class="journal-issue">1</span> <span class="page"> pp 49-62 </span> <span class="year">(2025)</span> </div> <div class="pub-footer"> <span class="language" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html">Language: Hungarian | </span> <span class="identifiers"> <span class="id identifier oa_none" title="none"> <a style="color:black" title="10.24193/subbtref.70.1.03" target="_blank" href="https://doi.org/10.24193/subbtref.70.1.03"> DOI </a> </span> <span class="id identifier oa_none" title="none"> <a style="color:black" title="https://studia.reviste.ubbcluj.ro/index.php/subbtheologiareformata/article/view/9365" target="_blank" href="https://studia.reviste.ubbcluj.ro/index.php/subbtheologiareformata/article/view/9365"> Other URL </a> </span> </span> <OnlyViewableByAuthor><div class="ratings"> <div class="journal-subject">Journal subject: Scopus - Religious Studies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rank:&nbsp;Q2</div> </div></OnlyViewableByAuthor> <div class="mtid"><span class="long-pub-mtid">Publication: 36252806</span> | <span class="status-data status-ADMIN_APPROVED"> Admin approved </span> Core | <span class="type-subtype">Journal Article ( Article ) </span> | <span class="pub-category">Scientific</span> | <span class="publication-sourceOfData"></span> </div> <div class="lastModified">Last Modified: 2026.01.09. 09:22 Major Edit Lupkovicsné (DRHE admin 4) </div> </div></div>
