Abstract

The Soli Deo Gloria Reformed Students’ Movement, which started in 1921 with only 29 young theologians, operated as an independent organization for 27 years and became one of the most important Reformed associations between the two world wars. The movement was active in a wide range of activities inside and outside the church: it organized youth camps and conferences, ran a student social department and a canteen, organized Bible schools in Budapest and in the countryside, and participated in current public issues. After World War II, there were several signs of crisis, but a revival seemed to have made the movement stronger. Meanwhile, the SDG lost several of its prominent leaders (because of death, escape or show trials). Suspicion was cast on the SDG in the trial of the Hungarian Fraternal Community and was subject to synchronized press attacks. Besides, the communist youth policy was jealous of any association that provided independent ideological education, and within a few years, the movement was absorbed into the church and “voluntarily” disbanded in 1949.
