Christian Metal Music
Boháč, Filip ; Bargár, Pavol (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
In this diploma thesis I am going to analyze Christian metal music with emphasis on its missional character. My starting point is at a hypothetical use of metal as a tool for Christian mission. I assume that new Christian communities will be able to use metal as a cultural tool for creating the inner character of the community. This requires a short introduction to the development of both Christian and secular metal music. To describe Christian mission in this subculture I am going to use the method of praxis matrix, through which I'm going to try to offer more detailed information about the subject in question concerning the topic of the identification of the agent. I'm also going to try to describe the social context, the church affiliation, interpretation of the tradition, concretization of the activity and the ability of self- reflection and spirituality.

The relationship between Christianity and Metal does not really come to mind as a topic for social discussion; rather it might appear as pointless or even unthinkable. Nevertheless, Metal music was responding to Christianity right from its origin and likewise Christianity was responding to Metal. Thus there was a specific relationship present from the beginning, which is surely worth to be tracking down. At times there were very acute violent escalations, and at other times they both were able to coexist next to each other or even together. At first, I will try to outline what the concept of Metal means, where it came from and how it came into an existence.

Trusinová, Alžběta ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
This Bachelor thesis examines the characteristic of Czech religiosity based on sociological surveys. It analyses the religiosity since the 19th century to the present day. The first chapter summarizes the approaches and theories about the role of religion in society. The following chapters describe the evolution of the four designated features of Czech religiosity: low trust in religious institutions, low religious self-declaration, low religious activity (assessed by the attendance of worship) and finally unimportant of religion. These features are examined in the nineteenth and twentieth century during the Habsburg monarchy, as well as in the First Republic, during the protectorate, and in the postwar years, during the Communist era and the post-revolution period to the present. The thesis is based mainly on the works of Czech sociologists of religion (Nešpor, Václavík, Hamplová), who analyzed sociological researches and described the Czech religious situation and its development. Czech religiosity and its features are explored since the beginning of the Czech national movement to the 21st century. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
