A Lutheran who openly raised confessional issues in his stories, Agrippa is considered one of the first writers of Lithuanian fiction. Besides being a member of both the Reformation and the Renaissance humanism movements, Agrippa also claimed that ancient Lithuanians spoke Latin because many Lithuanian words retained some elements of the language.
