Description
In the conclusion the main problems were delineated. The full-scale history of Mariavites still awaits to be written in English. For that reason, it was important to outline all the significant moments in their history in the first two chapters of this work. The subject has been tackled in Polish literature more thoroughly, but there are still many aspects that need to be rewritten in the light of new textual evidence that occasionally makes its way to the researchers interested in that period. Many English-speaking readers derive their knowledge from the work of Pietrkiewicz (Peterkiewicz), which turned out not to be a proper historical investigation, but rather a literal fantasy with some historical parts in the background. It would be profitable to warn potential future readers that it does not convey reliable information and counter its influence with an authoritative account. Finally, Mariavites continue to exist and despite not being strong in numbers they still have much to say in relation to both the Apocalypse and the Kingdom of God.
