Mádlová, Monika ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (advisor) ; Hejbal, Dušan (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of the pastoral letters of the Old Catholic bishop Augustin Podolák from the years 1971 till 1989, in other words during the time, when the bishop was deprived by the state of his state approval for spiritual functions. To illustrate the case the thesis include also three letters from the time after the revolution, that can shed some lite on the depth of the personality of Bishop Augustin. Beside the pastoral letters the thesis deals also with the history of the Old Catholic Church, because this history often influenced the content of the bishop's letters.

Jelínková, Dominika ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The first chapter of the thesis describes the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938). 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. The analysis of documents of both these authors aims to capture their response to the religious situation of those years and how they, in turn, influenced religious and political events during the period of the First Republic.

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...

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...

The Czechoslovak Hussite religious community in Prague's Vinohrady in years 1920-1950
Nováček, Oldřich ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with the history of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, focusing on a detailed analysis of one of its most significant religious community in the Vinohrady district of Prague, from its beginnings in 1920 up to 1950. It spans the first thirty years of its existence within the wider historical context . As all sorts of momentous, sometimes even breakthrough events, assisted to birth a new church, it was necessary to state these events together with the preconditions of its birth. Therefore the volume of the thesis has been extended and more general information from the time preceding the birth of a new church has been included. One individual chapter has been dedicated to the construction of the church building in Prague, the Vinohrady district as I consider that it deserves our adequate attention.
