Abstract
In religious texts from the Age of Enlightenment the changing relation between individual and God is noticed. In this paper this relation is exposed based on sermons collection Miβknygos of Kristijonas Gotlybas Milkus. On the purpose of analysis Louis Dumont’s anthropological concept of the rise of modern individualism is approached, which demonstrates how in-worldly individualism and out-worldly individualism is in a constant dialectical relationship and which stresses how the interaction between individual and God is happening. Sermons indicate how the common emotional admonition is replaced by rational argumentation. Such new tendency invites the reader to become an active community member, who manages to handle daily problems, and perceives God as an unquestionable moral authority.KEY WORDS: the Age of Enlightenment, individual, God, sermons, Protestantism, religion.
