The Doctrine of Antichrist and the Coming of Christ at the Beginning of the Unity of Brethren and its Roots in the Czech Reformation
Müllerová, Anna ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This thesis provides a balanced overview of the active ideological currents in the late Middle Ages in the Czech lands concerning the doctrine of the Antichrist and the second coming of Christ. It not only deals with the religious situation during that period, but also emphasises the political, cultural and social circumstances. The text is divided into seven parts that discuss the apocalyptic sentiment and the eschatological visions prevalent in society in that period. Presented in it are the principal ideas of such prominent reformist scholars and thinkers as Jan Milíč of Kroměříž, Master Jan Hus, Jan Rokycan and Petr Chelčický. The text charts the teachings of these men, as they followed one another, concerning the issues of the concept of the Antichrist and the coming of Christ up to the period of the Hussite revolutionary movement and even later, during the early days of the Unity of Brethren. Special attention is also given to the spiritual circumstances involved in the founding of the Unity of Brethren; there the roots of its founding and its beginnings and its distinctive features are documented in the thesis. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of the reformist and the Hussite struggle for its creation. The familiar interpretations of the doctrine of the Antichrist and the coming of Christ...

Reflection of the Battle of Lipany in Historiography and Textbooks
Moraová, Hana ; Parkan, František (advisor) ; Havlůjová, Hana (referee)
The thesis The Reflection of the Battle of Lipany in Historiography and Textbooks focuses on the issue of historical consciousness, subconsciousness and the birth of tradition and the role that history taught at schools plays in this process. The author studies how history taught at schools reflects research and results of contemporary historians. She shows whether, how fast and to which extent the results enter history textbooks, often the only text that pupils, students and unfortunately also teachers access. The whole issue is demonstrated on the Battle of Lipany - the event often perceived by Czech historians as key for future development of the whole nation. In the introductory part the author discusses the question of historical consciousnesss and subconsciousness, Czech national myth and tradition. In the following chapters she shows how in different eras of Czech history the topic of the Battle of Lipany was approached by historiographers and how their results entered history textbooks. The author shows that in most periods this process was very slow, if any, the only exception being the Protectoral period and the period of the communist regime when the ideological line propagated by official historiography entered the textbooks very fast. Of course, this ideological interpretation was...
