The articles by Lithuanian researchers present the ways of religious communication in the multilingual and multi-religious Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the territory of Lithuania Minor in the 16th-18th centuries.
Devoted to the principles of the Bible on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Lithuania Minor.
The collective book by Lithuanian researchers presents research conducted in Lithuania on the historical and socio-cultural contexts of the Bible and the ways in which it functioned in Lithuanian writing from its beginning to the 18th century. The ways of religious communication, the dissemination of religious and social ideas in the works of theologians, the functioning of biblical texts and the ways of their transmission are shown. The articles review the problems of translating the Bible into Lithuanian and Slavic languages, consider the influence of other languages and cultures on the formation of the Lithuanian language in its early development, and address issues of editing and publishing religious writings.
