Description
This Czech-language encyclopedia has no equivalent in the country. Zdeněk R. Nešpor maps modern Czech, Moravian and Czech-Silesian Evangelical churches, along with Old Catholic churches, in their historical territorial context. It describes individual congregations and church buildings belonging to the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, formed by the union of Czech-speaking Reformed and Lutheran churches, as well as the former German Evangelical Church, the Silesian Evangelical Church and the Old Catholic Church. It also includes Evangelical congregations in the Těšín region that became part of Poland after its division. An extensive chapter traces the development of Czech, Moravian and Silesian Protestantism, together with Old Catholicism, from the 18th century to the present, while art historian Blanka Altová contributes an art-historical analysis of Protestant church architecture during this period. Maps showing the geographical development of the Evangelical and Old Catholic churches are also included.
