Pojetí pýchy v traktátech „O sedmi hřieších hlavních“ Tomáše ze Štítného a Petra Chelčického
The Conception of Pride in the Tracts “On the Seven Deadly Sins” by Thomas of Štítné and Peter Chelčický

Summary/Abstract: The paper compares the conception of the first of the seven deadly sins in two medieval tracts. The both of them were inspired by the biblical text: “In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). However, ac-cording to the first tract by Thomas of Štítné, the most important is to stay firmly in the Truth which should be experienced first of all by reading the Bible, the priest’s leader-ship and self-education. On the other hand, the second author Peter Chelčický finds the answer in the inner spiritual life of a Christian and in the way how he/she behaves in the society.
