Summary/Abstract: Bishop Mihály Tofeus was a good organiser and politician with a vast correspondence.Alongside the round of duties pertaining to his role of bishop, Tofeus did not spend time by noting down the sermons he held during his active life as a minister. Due to this, his main contribution to biblical scholarship is represented by his published Sermons on the Psalms, which bear witness that he paid close attention to both ecclesiastical and socio–political issues. He managed to create a particular concept to offer a solution to these problems. This approach encompassed and integrated both the theological and spiritual trends of the time.
