This chapter describes the establishment of the First Republic, a new constitution, social legislation, relations between Czechoslovakia and Austria, the German minority in Czechoslovakia's borderlands and the events preceding World War II. Also mentioned is the issue of Slavic solidarity. The second chapter outlines the nature of Christianity in this period, meaning the establishment new churches and their basic directions, the confessional distribution of the population and the crisis in the church which began during this era. Part of the chapter is devoted to the first president of Czechoslovakia, T. G. Masaryk, and his thoughts, particularly those relating to religious belief. The last chapter will form an analysis of the writers, Jan Čep and Přemysl Pitter: their lives, work and thoughts from this period.

Portrait of Charlemagne and reflection of his time
Weissová, Karolína ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The new era begins for the civilized world in the 8th century. This empire gains its importance thanks to Frankish kings. It is because of its size and also because of the effort to spread Christianity which led to increasing education. At the beginning there is a significant different between failing Merovingian dynasty and quickly increasing Carolingian dynasty on the other side. In this moment we can see the government of incompetent and lazy kings and on the other side the new charismatic persons who are interested in inside politics of empire and its protection. Charles Martel and his son Pepin the Short are one of those persons. One distinct feature of the reign of Charlemagne is the connection of rising legacy of ancient culture and Christianity. The perfect example of educated man of this time is Einhart who was really knowledgeable of the ancient world but he was also a significant Christian scholar. We can find signs of real culture life, art, language and literature of the time in his work. That is just one reason why his work is invaluable. His record of Charlemagne life from his close proximity is helping us to see the overall picture of this time. Charlemagne's reign had an influence on the whole Europe. Huge territory of Europe was unified during his time. He quickly conquered...

Overview of the history of the Inqisition with special consideration of the witch trials in northern Moravia
Bělohlávek, Jakub ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The Inquisition functioned as an institution of the Church which searched for and punished ideas which didn't correspond with the generally accepted rules, mostly raised by the Catholic Church. The Inquisition's target was very often a numerous group of heretics who shared the same fundamental faith of the main stream of the Church but they disagreed in the essential questions. The range of enemies spread out with the raising power of the Church. Next to the heretics, the Church also fought against the uncomfortable opponents, very often of a secular origin. In the course of history the Inquisition functioned in several forms however it could not keep up with the progress in thought in society. That caused its downfall. The Inquisition exists up until now in a reorganized form however its role is strictly formal. Besides the heretics the Church inveighed against the practitioners and followers of witchcraft and magic. At the beginning the Church did not pay as much attention to this phenomenon as to the heretics nevertheless its point of view had changed radically during the Middle Ages. Mass witch-hunts came over from the northern Germany and Silesia to the Czech Lands. The northern Moravia was affected the most. Specifically the city of Šumperk and its surroundings. A hundred of people lost their...

Müllerová, Anna ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This thesis provides a balanced overview of the active ideological currents in the late Middle Ages in the Czech lands concerning the doctrine of the Antichrist and the second coming of Christ. It not only deals with the religious situation during that period, but also emphasises the political, cultural and social circumstances. The text is divided into seven parts that discuss the apocalyptic sentiment and the eschatological visions prevalent in society in that period. Presented in it are the principal ideas of such prominent reformist scholars and thinkers as Jan Milíč of Kroměříž, Master Jan Hus, Jan Rokycan and Petr Chelčický. The text charts the teachings of these men, as they followed one another, concerning the issues of the concept of the Antichrist and the coming of Christ up to the period of the Hussite revolutionary movement and even later, during the early days of the Unity of Brethren. Special attention is also given to the spiritual circumstances involved in the founding of the Unity of Brethren; there the roots of its founding and its beginnings and its distinctive features are documented in the thesis. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of the reformist and the Hussite struggle for its creation. The familiar interpretations of the doctrine of the Antichrist and the coming of Christ...
