Mácha, Viktor ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Martínková, Libuše (referee)
Modern medialization of God in light of theological reflexion Viktor Mácha The core of this work is focused on christian values and persons of the Trinity communication by means of modern mass-medias. It's structure is based on the most explicit model - singapure project God's Campaing from 2001, which is disassembled step by step by marketing management methodology and extended with related cases of "God's medializations" throughout the most influential communication channels of twentieth and twenty-first century at the same time, e.g. radio and television broadcasting, internet and entertainment industry. From stated in advance concept of medialization as an evangelization method the author concludes that more than a mission effort these communication channels are accomplishing certain form of pre-evangelization, pre-catechesis and pre-kerygmatic announcements in wider terms of inculturation.

Seventh-Day Adventists between modernism and postmodernism
JETELINA, Bedřich
This work reflects on how the Seventh-day Adventist Church meets the challenges of postmodernism, despite itself having its roots deep in the modern era. The first part deals with the origin of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the development of its dogma. It primarily focuses on the Thomas Reid?s philosophy of common sense and describes the Adventist statements of dogma that are typical of this church and were influenced by the philosophy of common sense. The second part analyses how this church deals with the challenges of the postmodern era. It describes the current categorisation of Adventist theology on the basis of the differing macro-hermeneutic of the individual streams that depend on how they view the relationship between God and time. It also indicates the practical impacts that these various approaches to church praxis lead to. The aim of this work is to be as objective as possible in describing the current situation and show the potential risks and solutions that the church and its members face. In the author?s opinion, an adequate response to the problems of Adventism in the postmodern era can be found in shifting the emphasis to a general Christian perspective and in redefining specifically Adventist teachings.
