Luciferův efekt a křesťanská teologie

The author of the article presents and at the same time critically evaluates the main contributions of Philip G. Zimbardo’s monograph The Lucifer Effect. The influence of the system, rules, and group on the thinking and actions of the individual is approved. The author of the study does not agree, however, with the unilaterally negative evaluation of obedience, and also with the statements about the “banality” of the good. In the second part, the author of the study demonstrates that a healthy Christian faith is an excellent strategy for dealing with harmful social influences on one’s personality and moral integrity.
