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
