The present work strives to process, present and interpret the available materials relating to the life and work of the catholic priest, Bible scholar, teacher and dean of the Cyril and Methodius Theological Faculty, Jan Merell. The main aim of the work was to document his life path within the context of historical events, mainly in the period when Jan Merell was confronted with anticlerical persecution policy of the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century both during the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the army of the Nazi Germany and during the establishment and consolidation of the communist regime. Besides, the present work provides an overview of the rich literary and research work of Jan Merell that has made him one of the most prominent Czech biblical scholars and won him international reputation as well. Despite critical opinions questioning some aspects of his public activity, Jan Merell undoubtedly ranks among the most important personalities of Catholic church both in Czech context and abroad.

The church and cultural life in Sorbian Lusatia after 1945 (with the view to the Czech-Sorbian relations)
Hankovec, Václav ; Kaleta, Petr (advisor) ; Bartoň, Josef (referee)
The Church and Cultural Life in Sorbian Lusatia after 1945 (with the View to the Czech-Sorbian Relations) Summary The aim of this article is to take a closer look at the post-war development of Czech-Sorbian relations. Emphasis is placed upon the attitudes of the former GDR toward the Sorbian minority and above all toward the Sorbian National Movement immediately following the Second World War, which is tied to the attempts to make Lusatia a part of the Czechoslovak state. Particular attention is devoted to the Sorbs' relationship to the church and school and the resulting activities of the Friends of Lusatia Society (FLS) and to the Lusatian Seminary in Czechoslovakia, later the Lusatian House in Prague. One breakthrough in this endeavor was, for example, the acquisition of new information on the relationship of Domowina to the FLS. Between the 1940s and 1950s, it is surprising that Domowina did not advocate a positive attitude toward FLS. This fact has not yet been documented in any of the literature on the Sorbs. The addition of new information from archival materials and specialized literature on the topic in question was also important. An entire series of studies has been devoted to the Sorbian question, both on the Czech and the German side, but it is necessary to complete several more archival...

The Discourse about God in Contra Eunomium II of St. Gregory of Nyssa
Bendová, Markéta ; Bartoň, Josef (advisor) ; Ventura, Václav (referee)
Řeč o Bohu ve spise Contra Eunomium II svatého Řehoře z Nyssy Anotace Práce se zabývá teorií řeči, jak ji ve druhé knize Proti Eunomiovi (Contra Eunomium II), v rámci své polemiky s ariánským biskupem Eunomiem z Kyziku, rozvinul Řehoř z Nyssy. Eunomios byl přesvědčen, že Jednorozený Syn Boží je nepodobný Bohu co do postaty (a odmítal tedy učení nicejského koncilu o soupodstatnosti - homoúsios - Otce a Syna), protože Otcova podstata je nezrozená. Tento argument předpokládá určitou teorii jmen. Jejímu vysvětlení je věnována první kapitola. Druhá kapitola objasňuje, jak vykládá lidská jména, jejich původ, účel a výpovědní hodnotu Řehoř. Podle něj jsou jména pouhými lidskými pojmy (epinoia), jsou vytvořena lidmi, nikoli Bohem. Proto nemohou zjevovat podstatu věcí, ale pouze to, jak lidé věci poznávají. Pokud jde o jména, dávaná Bohu, je Řehořovou ústřední tezí, že Boží podstatu pojmenovat nemůžeme. Tato teze je postupně vyjasňována v následujících kapitolách práce. Ve třetí kapitole se připomíná pro Řehoře velmi významný rozdíl mezi stvořeným (diastématickým) a nestvořeným (adiastématickým) bytím. Z něho je vyvozována nutná pluralita výpovědí o Bohu. Čtvrtá kapitola pojednává otázku, jestli a do jaké míry můžeme Řehoře přiřadit k negativním teologům. Následně je vysvětleno, že naše jména neoznačují Boží...

The Concept of Freedom of Nikolai Berdyaev
Šimek, Vojtěch ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Bartoň, Josef (referee)
Anglická anotace The Concept of Freedom of Nikolai Berdyaev The present work focuses on the concept of freedom of Russian religious philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, whose work dates back to the first half of the 20th century. The thinker was expelled from Russia by Lenin's regime in 1922 and died in France in 1948. Berdyaev's concept of freedom stems from his introspective and intuitive approach while undervaluating and deliberately overpassing the significance of rationality. In this concept, an important role is played by the idea of objectification, which, according to Berdyaev, is the gnoseological interpretation of the original sin and the fallen state of the world. Liberation comes from the world of spirit, which is put into contrast to the world of nature and necessity. Objectification (thesis) and the freedom of spirit (antithesis) find their synthesis in a creative act, which is a divine-human act. In Berdyaev's concept, freedom is absolutised, growing from the meontic principle. God himself is drawn into the mystery and tragedy of freedom. Berdyaev's freedom achieves its completion in the concept of active eschatologism. God together with the man defeats the evil stemming from the meontic principle. The present work looks upon Berdyaev's concept of freedom from the point of view of Christian and...
