CALVIN SYNOD HERALD- 2 -AMERIKAI MAGYAR REFORMÁTUSOK LAPJA EXPLANATION of FRONTISPIECE The oldest leading Protestant publication, the “Christian Observer”, in continued existence for 182 years, started in July 1994 to publish a one-page condensed report on each of the twenty pre-reformation and Reformation heroes. The “Christian Observer”, under the title “Our People”, started a new series based on our editor’s bookThe March of Truth. The lives and credos of twenty heroes of the Reformation are brought to life. It brings each and every one of the twenty historical miniatures in a condensed summary, including the small pictures from the book. Reinhold H. Weidemaar drew the pen-drawings for Dr. Szabó’s book, winning with them the Guggenheim Prize of Art at the time of its publication. In Dr. Szabó’s book, each miniature is about 14 pages long and the picture of each hero is a full page-size drawing of the artist. Four editions in English have been printed thus far and are being used all over the U.S.A. A Dutch translation has been printed in Holland. A Hungarian version was requested by the Reformed Church in Hungary. Due to a paper shortage, however, the Hungarian version has not yet been published.
