„Co jest spasení? Na čem záleží“? Prezentace konfese v pohřebních kázáních: mezi násilím a spásou

The essay explains which rhetoric means accompanied the media of confessional disciplination and confrontation at the end of the 16th century. It is based on funeral sermons from the Bohemian milieu in the period preceding the Bohemian Revolt. The essay defines the most frequent themes through which the own as well as the foreign confessions were presented in the funeral services and divides rhetoric techniques used in funeral services according to their intensity and verbal aggression. The most aggressive type of statements includes comparisons of the own (meaning the true) catechism and the foreign (false, fallacious, heretic) catechism and denial of salvation to its adherents.
