Modernizace českého evangelického prostředí: případ svobodných církví

This study deals with the birth and the consequent development of the so-called Free Evangelical churches, primarily of the re-established Unity of the Brethren, the Free Reformed Church, the Adventist and Baptist churches in the Czech Lands at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century. The author also analyses the legal circumstances of the institutionalisation of these churches and their social and cultural importance in relation to the already established Protestant churches and the majority Roman Catholic environment in the context of the ethnic structure of the Czech Lands.
