Papers by Radim Cervenka
Utraquist authorities from the sixteenth century. I tried to fit them into
a broader frame of Reformation history and to stress certain specific aspects
of Utraquism as a distinct religious denomination. It was important that
Luther’s Reformation newly stressed human guilt deriving from the commission of original sin. Using the texts, analysed above, as illustrations, I could
note that even in Utraquism we can encounter pessimistic commentaries
deriving from a stress on the influence of original sin in human lives. These pessimistic overtones found expressions in the frequent utilisation, in literature, of the motif De contemptu mundi – contempt for the world.
a book by Vavřinec Leander Rvačovský, is remarkable for reflection on this environment. The reader can encounter original elaboration of the seven sins to which we can apply theses by Richard Newhauser on transformation of functionality of the seven sins at the turn of Middle
Ages and Early Modern Period. Through the issues of the sin and the subsequent penance, which are inseparable for the Utraquists, we can observe how Utraquists worked with this theme against the background of confessional polemics, which represent a key topic in the religious life of the 16th century.
