Piotr Skarga, zyjacy na przelomie wiekуw XVI i XVII, w czasach kontrreformacji, polski jezuita, teolog, pisarz, kaznodzieja, maz stanu byl postacia niezwykla w historii Polski i polskiego kosciola. Zofia Kossak w swych utworach pokazala go od innej strony — jako sluge Bozego, czlowieka modlitwy, mistyka, czyniacego wielkie dzielo milosierdzia. Udokumentowala uniwersalnosc jego poslugi i aktualnosc jego postawy dla czasуw nam wspуlczesnych. Postac Skargi doskonale wpisuje sie w strategie pisarstwa historycznego Zofii Kossak nastawionego na perswazje aksjologiczna.

She documented the universality of his ministry and the relevance of his attitude to the present day. The character of Skarga perfectly embodies in the historical writing of Zofia Kossak which is axiological persuation oriented.
