Calvin's Ecclesiology
Matulová, Lucie ; Červenková, Denisa (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee)
The Bachelor thesis "Calvin's eccesiology" firstly presents his masterpice Institutes of the Christian Religion. The book was published several times. The its final edition comes from 1559. Then I focus on Calvin's vision of the Church. He spoke about the invisible Church which was created by people who had been elected by God's secret will. I attempt to demonstrate the impact of the doctrine of predestination on the life of a Christian. Belief in a personal election becomes a strong motivation leading to greater effort. It also brings reassurance that God would not allow the elected to fall. Calvin offers definitition of the visible Church. The pure preaching of the Word of God and the right administration of the sacraments are crucial to recognise the true Church. There are two sacraments used in the Church, baptism and the supper of the Lord. Four offices has been instituted for the government of the Church. Pastors have a unique responsibility to represent Christ and to serve in His name. I consider them as primus inter pares. Calvin dedicates a part of his ecclesiology to the power of the Church which he sees in doctrine, legislation and jurisdiction. Keywords Calvin, Church, sacraments, offices, church power

The Eucharist in the Gospel of John
POLÁČEK, Martin
The presented work deals with the conception of the Eucharist in the Gospel of John. The first chapter is dedicated to terms of the Eucharist, the Last Supper and the Lord{\crq}s Supper and also to the existing division of possible approaches to the sacramentality in the Gospel of John. In the subsequent chapters it deals in detail with five places of the Gospel of John, that are mostly mentioned in connection with the Eucharist. It is the wedding at Cana (2,1-11), the eucharistic section (6,51-58), washing of the feet of disciples (13,1-20), the Vine and the Branches (15,1-17), opening of the side of Jesus (19,34). The work tries to solve the topic (question) in the context as wide as possible including the question of the johannine sources of inspiration. In this way it can be seen the mutual correspondence of these varios places and the deep theological conception of the hole Gospel. The replacement of the institution of the Eucharist in the thirteenth chapter with the washing of the feet and it{\crq}s displacement to {\clqq}the bread of life discourse`` in the sixth chapter is due to the proper evangelist{\crq}s intention. There was an impending danger, that the Eucharist became a magical medicine without any relation to the incarnation and the sacrifitial death of Jesus. These facts have theirs own consequences for the life of the christian community. So the subject of the sacraments has been subordinated to the christological accent.
