Pečeňa, Rastislav ; Filipi, Pavel (advisor) ; Vaňáč, Martin (referee)
The Differences in Interpretation and Practice of the Lord's Supper between Roman Catholic Church and Protestant Churches This Bachelor's thesis deals with characteristics of the Lord's Supper in particular churches. These are Roman Catholic Church and two types of protestant churches - the churches of Augsburg Confession and the churches of Helvetic Confession. The task of this thesis is to point out and to compare the most discussed elements and nexuses related to the Lord's Supper from the theoretical view of confession of each church as well as from the view of its practice - concretely how administration of the Lord's Supper takes place and what is necessary for it, how can be dealt with it, who can be the administrator and who can accept and the like. Mostly, it is used the primary literature, which particular churches use (catechisms, codes, agendas…). On the other hand, it is used the secondary literature to put in nexuses as well. There are two documents of ecumenical agreements from the second half of the last century mentioned in conclusion - especially their views of the Lord's Supper. These should point out the hope of unity of church, which is not fully possible yet, but which church apparently aims to. In supplements, there is described a very short history of oecumene.

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.
