At the turn of the 17th century in the royal town of Wschowa lived and worked the famous Lutheran pastor Valerius Herberger, called “little Luther” – considering his eager preaching, pastoral activity and outstanding theological works. Deserving particular attention is his preaching, which can be regarded as a model also for contemporary, not only Protestant, preachers. They can imitate him in passion for the Gospel of God; in consistent and committed application of the rule that during sermons one should proclaim nothing else but Jesus Christ – the crucified Savior; in being always – even until death – eager, strenuous, uncompromising, brave, creative and joyful witnesses of the faith; in masterful linking in sermons the theological elements with anthropological ones – the word of God with human everyday puzzles; in pastoral, sometimes heroic, care of all the “plagued” of our times; in using in one’s preaching the simple, colorful, pictorial language of listeners’ experiences; and finally in practicing both from the pulpit and during pastoral work the “theology of the heart” which was so characteristic of his sermons.Keywords

Every individual listening to the word of God, delivered either in the Holy Mass homily or parish catechesis, lives in a speci c cultural environment, sometimes referred to as a “small home- land”. It provides the “regional context” of preaching. This paper presents the inspiring role of this “context” in contemporary preaching of the Gos- pel. In view of dominant globalization trends, this context seems to gain increasing importance. To avoid misunderstanding, the paper starts with presenting necessary de nitions, such as the meaning of the term: “homily”, “parish catechesis” or “regional context”. Since the realization of the word of God delivered during the homily or parish catechesis always takes place in a speci c life of an individual who lives, works or rests in a speci c local community and who is immersed in its cul- ture, the signi cance of this context in preaching the word of God is demonstrated. Additionally, the paper presents the content of the regional culture to be used both in the homily and in the parish catechesis. In this context, homiletic and catechetical suggestions are indicated, among which the need for spiritual sensitivity and openness of homilists and catechists to the values of cultural heritage of the region comes to the fore.

Many attempts have been made to describe the life, fame and fate of the great German Luthe- ran pastor, preacher, theologian, humanist, poet, composer of well-known church songs and social activist, Valerius Herberger (1562-1627), who lived and worked in the Polish royal city Wschowa. The excellence of this gure has been proved by ample theological and homiletic works published in print. This article depicts the richness of both Herberger as a person and his works by making references to as many as ten bynames given to him. The rst three of them were coined by drawing an analogy to the father of the Reformation, Martin Luther, namely „the little Luther”, „the other Luther”, „the Polish Luther”. In two other epithets: „evangelical Abraham a Sancta Clara” and „the other Ignatius Loyola” Herberger was compared respectively to two gures well-known in the Catholic world, that is to an Augustinian Friar Abraham a Sancta Clara, one of the most famous, early baroque preachers, and to Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. The remaining ve bynames refer directly to Herberger’s performance as a preacher and a pastoral worker, that is: „Preacher of Jesus”, „Lover of Jesus”, „Preacher of the Heart”, „Warden of Hearts” and „Pastor of the Plague”. All those epithets pose a constant challenge to successive generations of preachers, theologians, priests, Catholic writers and social activists to become if not another Herberger, at least a little Herberger.

The aim of the article is to show the scale of Anna Vasa’s (1568-1625) literary patronage and her role in the literary culture of the Commonwealth at the beginning of the 17th century. The Infanta’s ambitions to become a patron of Protestant culture in the Polish-Lithuanian state succumbing to Catholicism have been fulfilled. The most significant testimonies of this patronage are the works of Evangelicals: the monumental “Postylla” by Samuel Dambrowski, “Florilegium ex Paradiso Psalmorum” by Valerius Herberger or “Heraclitus” by Samuel Bolestraszycki. Anna Vasa’s influence on the literary culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the first twenty years of the 17th century is also demonstrated by the group of Catholic writers who offered her their works. They include, among others: Andrzej Zbylitowski, Stanisław Grochowski, Jan Achacy Kmita, Jerzy Cerazyn, Wawrzyniec Chlebowski. An additional value of this patronage is that the dedications and literary works show the deeds and personality of the princess. The abundance of texts related to Infanta makes the literature connected with the remarkable biography of an independent, well-educated woman, protector of natural scientists, as well as evangelical writers and theologians. The analysis of the royal patronage leads to the another conclusion that in the research on the writings of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the aspect of at least trilingualism of the contemporary literature, which was written in Polish, Latin and German, should be more widely considered.
