The Form of Family Life in the Context of new Religious Movements in the CR
Kinghamová, Karin ; Šubrová, Anežka (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Daniela (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with different forms of family life in some new religious movements in the Czech Republic and their specific features. The study provides an overview of Czech family life and of the Czech religious scene so as to give an idea of what is considered usual in this country. A more in depth analysis considers the terms "new religious movements" and "sects", why they appear and who are the people who join them. It describes the mechanisms of these alternative religions, their variability, not forgetting the local legislative approach to religion. The second part of the thesis presents individual new religious movements with a general characteristic and a description of their family life with the help of specialized literature and interviews with members of specific religious societies.

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.
