Abstract
The paper in collective monograph, in which eight researchers, historians, linguists, religionists and art historians (Iva Adámková, Nora Berend, Jiří Dynda, Jan Frolík, Jana Maříková-Kubková, Dalibor Prix, Ivo Štefan a Martin Wihoda) interprets the sigificance od the Church of Virgin Mary at Prague Castle and attempts to connect its archaeological remains with the Christianization of Czech lands. The paper by Jiří Dynda in the scope of this collective monograph attempts to set the Christianization of medieval Bohemia and Moravia into the broader perspective of Religious Studies and also introduces the problems and issues connected with the study of sources on the paganism in medieval Bohemia and Moravia.
