In 2015, the book “Nejpokrokovější církevní pracovník”. Protestantské církve a Josef Lukl Hromádka v letech 1945–1969 (“The Most Progressive Church Worker”. The Protestant Churches and Josef Lukl Hromádka between 1945 and 1969) was published, written by church historians Peter Morée and Jiří Piškula. This study uses their reflections to consider the nature of historiography, as well as the Church and protestant society, to which renowned Czech theologian, J. L. Hromádka (1889–1969) – known for his linking of theological identity with the political regime – declared himself. Amongst other issues, discussion is made of to what extent the changes to the geopolitical map in the second half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century have affected the legitimacy of Hromádka’s programme of securing a place for Christianity in socialist society.
