Peter, the Apostle, the Believer and of Little Faith, in Response to Jesus' Epiphany on the Sea
Hovorka, Petr ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Résumé Peter, the Apostle, both believer and of little faith in answer to Jesus' epiphany on the sea By Petr Hovorka This thesis is concerned with the passage of the Gospel according to Matthew (14, 22-36), which reveals Jesus' identity from two points of view. The miraculous event of Jesus "walk on the waves" presents Jesus as the Son of God with cosmic power over the created world, who, as the Father himself, can proclaim about himself: "I am". The following description summarizes Jesus power over illness and all evil and shows his healing power over everything, which endangers man in enjoying the fullness of life and happiness. The textual connection with the previous event of the multiplication of bread enables us to see the revelation of Jesus as the "new Moses", who first offers bread to his people (cf. Ex 16,4-15) and next he crosses the see (cf. Ex 14,15-22). The summary report about his healing activity resembles many others, which represent changeovers to following pericopes of Jesus' acts. Through reports as these, comparable to a chorus passage, the evangelist intends to remind the reader Jesus' basic gospelizing mission, which brings full salvation to mankind, in both body and soul. Further extensions of the text are offered by individual biblical experts, both by enlistment into various...

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...

The motherly attribute of God in the Old Testament
Šourků, Jindřich ; Hřebík, Josef (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
RESUMÉ God's relationship towards man takes place in scope of the history of salvation. The Old Testament is the annunciation of great acts of God, where the key role is played by the Israelite nation. God gradually reveals himself to man in a way so that the addressee - man - is able to understand God's revealed love. God is always the first one to have the initiative. God's communication with people reaches its top by the contract at Mount Sinai. And not only that, God also gives man his eternal promises, reveals him his name and leads him out of Egypt. In the Old Testament God is totally free from any sexual practices which are so inherent with the surrounding nations' polytheism. Israel learns about the only God mostly through experience, not through analogy or theological research. It is because man was able to learn about God's character and attributes from God's self-revealing. There are a number of references to God's fatherly love towards Israel in the Old Testament. A number of similarities exist between the character of earthly father and God, the basic reason being that man can not think in other categories than man's ones. But then there must be also a similarity between mother and God because the origin of both fatherhood and motherhood is in God himself. God wishes to be everything to man and...
