The topic of this work is expressed by its title: The View of the Authorship of the Pentateuch in the Course of History. Our aim is not to resolve the complicated question about the authorship of the first five books of the Holy Bible, but to walk through the history from the text of Pentateuch itself up to our times and to observe the changes in the view of the authorship of Pentateuch. We try to observe not only views of the authorship, but also their philosophical and theological background. The work is divided into the chapters according to the main periods of the development of various opinions about the authorship of "The Low of Moses". The first period is described in the chapter with the name "Mentions in the Bible", in the next chapter "The Pre-critical Period" we speak about opinions in patristic and mediaeval times, the chapter "The Historical-critical View" refers about various theories of the last two centuries, especially about the source-hypothesis and finally the chapter "The Reactions on the Historical-critical Concept" speaks about the theories, which calculate more also with the voice of tradition.

The Significance of Archeological Excavations in Galilee for the Interpretation of the Gospels
Kučera, Peter ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hřebík, Josef (referee)
RESUME The Significance of the Archaeological Excavations in Galilee for the Interpretation of the Gospels. During the latter half of the last century a number of excavations have been conducted throughout the Holy Land. Out of all the sites excavated one stands out in particular and that is Capharnaum which Matthew did not hesitate to call Jesus's "own town". The large number of Gospel references to Capharnaum, when taking into account the proverbial conciseness of the Gospels, is striking and it simply underlines the importance it had in Jesus's public ministry. This settlement has actually been extensively excavated and several remnants from the first century A.D. have been unearthed. Among the most significant are the house of St. Peter and the synagogue from the Early Roman period, however, they are not the only ones meriting attention. This thesis is probably the first work attempting to furnish the reader with a complete description of the archaeological findings that are dated to the first century A.D. Moreover, it contains what is probably the most complete presentation of the extra-biblical references to Capharnaum to date. The aim of this thesis is to present and scrutinize these finds comparatively with both the biblical and extra-biblical sources as well as with finds from other contemporaneous...

Pilgrimages to Jerusalem in the Old Testamet
Pauli, Michal ; Hřebík, Josef (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
ANOTATION Title: Pilgrimages to Jerusalem in the Old Testament The aim of this thesis is to show the extent to which the Old Testament pilgrimages issue - as a specific religious phenomenon - is related to the identity, historic formation, and eschatological targeting by the chosen people of Israel at the Lord, their God. After an introductory chapter, which covers the basic contextual foundations of the issue (anthropology, human movement, the history of the religious community, the anakefaleiósis of its "founder" and the myth that the objectives of the entire human race are in perfect harmony), the author moves on to discuss to the legal standards and regulations which applied on the pilgrimages, as codified in the Pentateuch. In this second chapter the author focuses mainly on the way in which the celebration of pilgrimage holidays helped build the identity of God's people in diverse environments, times and circumstances, and the development of the liturgy of the three major pilgrimages that culminate in pre-exile Jerusalem. In the third chapter, the author focuses on the conflicts between the prophetic institution and the royal and clerical institution in the environment of the temple in Zion. He shows that the dynamics of the Lord's cult and pilgrimage celebration are threatened by formalism if the...
