"Just Don't Be Yourself" - Discourse of Homosexuality in Czech Protestant Churches
Boszczyk, Filip ; Javornícky Brumovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Knotková - Čapková, Blanka (referee)
While the majority of Czech society now holds relatively positive attitudes toward the homosexual minority, the same cannot be said of religious people. Czech Protestants in particular are a very heterogenous group in this area. This thesis is an excursion into the intersection of these two minorities: religious and sexual. It seeks to answer questions about the nature of the Czech Protestants' approach to the phenomenon of homosexuality, its history and the circumstances that have given it its current form. The main subject of the thesis is therefore the Protestant discourse of homosexuality, the study of which makes it possible to identify the basic ideological differences between religious attitudes of accepting or rejecting homosexuality. Understanding these theological and social assumptions helps to clarify key aspects of the contemporary culture wars in which conservative Christianity plays an important role.

In the Name of Christ-Selected Thoughts of the Members of the Lesser Czech Evangelical Churches in the Period 1890-1940
Mašek, Tomáš ; Horský, Jan (advisor) ; Nešpor, Zdeněk (referee)
The work focuses on the specification of the specificities of the thinking of some smaller evangelical churches in the territory of Bohemia in the period 1890-1940. Specifically, this is the Brethren Unity of Chelčický (Baptist), the Unity of Czech Brethren (formerly Reformed Free Church) and the Evangelical Methodist Church. The focus of the interpretation is to introduce the construction of confessional identity based on the relationship to the past and the specific interpretation of the personalities and events that shaped the tradition from which these churches were based. Another element forming the identity of the members of these churches was their attitude to the modern secularization tendencies against which they stood in opposition. Last but not least, their confessional consciousness determined their definition of other forms of piety. The aim of the work was to provide, based on the study of the published written sources left by the members of these three churches, a comparison and characterization of their way of viewing certain subjects through their religious beliefs.

Kunášek, Daniel ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee)
Kunášek, Daniel. Univerzita Karlova v Praze. Duben, 2020. Teologické vlivy na Církev Křesťanská společenství. Vedoucí práce: doc. PhDr. Zdeněk Vojtíšek, Ph.D. Předmětem této bakalářské práce jsou teologické vlivy a proudy, které formovaly a ovlivňovaly Církev Křesťanská společenství. Cílem práce je nevyčerpávajícím avšak uceleným způsobem popsat důležité teologické vlivy na tuto církev a objevující se duchovní proudy. A to jak v jejích počátcích, tak v současnosti. Práce představuje určitá teologická stanoviska Církve Křesťanská společenství, její praxi a zároveň její vývoj. Pro kvalitní reflexy teologických vlivů na denominaci práce kombinuje orální historii, hloubkové rozhovory, práci s literaturou primární i sekundární a vlastní pozorování autora. Bakalářská práce je rozdělena do čtyř hlavních částí. V první části jsou popisovány kořeny církve, základní informace a její zařazení se v rámci křesťanstva. Druhá část je zaměřena na teologické vlivy 80. a 90. let, přičemž ruku v ruce jde i historie vzniku církve. Tato část zahrnuje jak obecné představení jednotlivých vlivů, tak jejich konkrétní způsoby, jak ovlivnily tuto denominace. Ve třetí části jsou definována teologická stanoviska Církve Křesťanská společenství, její pevné body víry a církevní praxe, která je víceméně již ustálená. Dále život...
