reformátori

Reformátori is a Hungarian term that translates to "reformers" in English. It is most commonly associated with the Protestant Reformation in Hungary, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries. These individuals played a crucial role in spreading the ideas of the Reformation, challenging the established Catholic Church, and establishing Protestant denominations in the region. Key figures who could be considered reformátori include Protestant theologians, preachers, and scholars who translated religious texts into Hungarian, wrote theological works, and organized religious communities. Their efforts were instrumental in shaping the religious landscape of Hungary, leading to the development of Reformed and Lutheran churches that remain significant today. The term reformátori also carries a broader connotation, encompassing individuals who sought to reform various aspects of society, not just religion, though its primary association is with religious reform.
