Adam Vereš : život a dielo

Dušan Sajak’s 2016 monograph provides a biographical and historical overview of the life and work of Adam Vereš, the first bishop of the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Yugoslavia. The book Adam Vereš (1883–1931): Život a dielo (Life and Work) by Dušan Sajak—published in 2016 by the Institute for the Culture of Vojvodina Slovaks (Ústav pre kultúru vojvodinských Slovákov) in Novi Sad—is a scholarly and comprehensive historical-biographical monograph dedicated to one of the most significant religious and cultural figures of the Slovak community in Vojvodina. The work details Adam Vereš’s life journey—from his birth in Stara Pazova, his education and theological training, to his appointment and tenure as the first bishop of the Slovak Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Drawing on archival materials and documentary sources, the author highlights Vereš’s pivotal role in the institutional organization of the Church following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, as well as his efforts to preserve the religious, cultural, and national identity of the Slovaks in Vojvodina. Written in Slovak, this 2016 monograph serves as an invaluable resource for the study of the history of Protestantism, the Slovak minority in Vojvodina, and 20th-century ecclesiastical history in the region.
