Christology of Apocalypsis of John
Horáková, Hana ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
Christology of the Apocalypse of John The book of Revelation is the final book of the New Testament. It is an apocalypse. Biblical scholars have generally argued, that the book of Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian and that Domitian instituted an empire-wide persecution of Christians. This bachelor thesis supplement historical-critical research with insights from the sociology of knowledge in order to understand better the social function of Revelation's apocalyptic imagery. This study of the Christology of the book of Revelation deals with the major christological images in the book (the "one like a son of man", the Lamb and the Divine Warrior). The most prominent christological functions center around the Lamb, in this image John developed the victory-through-suffering motif. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

The Interpretation of the Baptism by the Apostle Paul
Paluchník, Štefan ; Pokorný, Petr (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
The dissertation entitled as "The interpretation of the baptism by the apostle Paul" deals with the New Testament passages about the baptism written by the 4 apostle Paul - first of all in Romans 6 (§ 2). The clear reference to the baptism can be found in other passages of Paul (Gal, 1 Cor, 2 Cor, Col, Eph and Titus), but there are less clear texts as well (§ 3). Chapters (§) 2 and 3 are crucial for the investigation of the Paul's interpretation of the baptism. The second task covers the investigation of the relation between the faith confession in 1 Cor 15,3 and the procedure of the Christian baptism: coming down (water, grave) and coming up (death - life) according to the proposition of Petr Pokorný (the baptism as the sign of Christ ascent). The exegetical and the theological analyzes is used in both tasks. The results of the investigation are summarized in the closing chapter (§ 7): (a) Based on the exegetical work we can see that the text in Romans 6,1-11 represents the core passage (locus classicus) for the understanding of the baptism by the apostle Paul. This is the oldest New Testament evidence about the execution of the baptism. This text stores the oldest Christian tradition echoing the tradition of the Gospel in 1Cor 15.3. The model of the baptism by ap. Paul is included in texts: Gal 3,26-27; 1...

The word of cross. Meaning of the motive of cross in the parenetic context of 1Cor 1,10 - 2,5
Tomeš, Jiří ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee)
Thesis Word of the Cross: Significance of the Cross mofit in the peneretic context. 1. K 1,10-2,5 deals with the New Testament also discusses briefly about its author, the choir, which is the addressee. In the main section on the biblical section concerns the relation of the first section, which bears the name "The division in the congregation" (which is a division of the local church) with the rest of the text,where it is a cross, which is foolishness to those who go to perdition, but wisdom and power of God for the chosen ones. The apostle Paul shows that argument on two examples in which the Church itself, with not many noble, powerful and wise in it, but who are nevertheless chosen, which is a shame for many. The second example is the weakness in performance and fear. So preached the gospel to the cross of Christ through wisdom did not lose sense. The apostle Paul warns that the reliance on human (celebrities), his wisdom, personality and rhetorical art does not make sense, because only through the cross, which is foolishness to man, can stand on the path to salvation.

Paul and Israel in the Epistle to Galatians
Ženatý, Filip ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jiří (referee)
This paper deals with a question, how the apostle Paul saw the Christian church in relation to Israel as a people of God in the epistle to the Galatians. As it is an epistle written for a particular reason to the particular people, the first part of the paper deals with a brief analysis of the epistle as such and its context. The main part of the paper is focused on Paul's specific arguments. The role of Paul's conversion, his mission among the gentiles and his relationship with the Jerusalem authorities are evaluated at first. The paper clarifies also what the Antioch incident was about. What follows is the crucial analysis of the term "works of the Law", against which Paul places the faith alone. The paper subsequently focuses on the exposition of the role of Abraham in Paul's theological thoughts. How Paul saw the curse of the Law and how he understood the Jewish Law as such is examined as well. Paul's concept of the church as the newly redefined people of God is demonstrated on the idea of the freedom in the end.

Historical Jesus as Messiah. The presuppositions of Christology in the historical Jesus.
Ficzere, Tamás ; Pokorný, Petr (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
The following doctoral thesis Historical Jesus as a Messiah is aimed at the question of Jesus' Messianism. It contributes to a broad field of study that has at its core this theme and that tries to unravel the unsatisfactory answer if Jesus from Nazareth (or "historical Jesus") considered himself during his earthly life a Messiah. Is it interesting to note that the early Christians, right after Jesus' death, professed him their Lord and Messiah. This "title", which is soon used in relation to Jesus, becomes in its Greek form (Cristo,j - "anointed") Jesus' personal name and Christians recognize as their Messiah Jesus Christ. If we realize that the earthly Jesus never used this title as a self attribution, it remains unclear why it played such an important role for the followers of Jesus. The question of why they did not title him "Son of man" arises. As far as that goes, this is the title earthly Jesus identified with. But the decision of the first Christians, who understood Jesus to be God's messenger and a Messiah, has to have a foundation; it cannot merely be an "overvaluation" of his mission. The question remains: why did Jesus hesitate to identify himself as a Messiah? Even though he never said it about himself, we can trace in the synoptic gospels' indications to let us affirm the statement that the...

Výskyt tejto tematiky je zúžený na konkrétny spis qumránskej literatúry zvaný Hodayot. V hlavnej časti práce je ťažisko položené na analýze tohto poetického textu pomocou rozboru termínov významných pre vzkriesenie, ako aj ostatných, ktoré pomáhajú osvetliť kontext vybraných pasáží.

Pearls before Swine
Groll, Vlasta ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
The Bachelor thesis Pearls before Swine (Mt 7,6+15-22) includes a translation and exegesis of this part of the Sermon on the Mount and its grammatical analysis and in-depth study. It is an attempt to summ up various approaches to problematic elements of the text, how they are handled by different theologians mainly of the 20th century, and to hint at the directions which they followed. Further an outline of the period background which could have possibly influenced the evangelist by writting is drawn up. The nonbiblical paralles of these texts are mentioned, and the so called Wirkungsgeschichte of this text is chalked out. This thesis tries to figure out something which joins the verses about dogs and about false prophets together. The responces of the Mt 7,6+15-22 in Bohemia and Moravia are excluded.

Twelve Foundations of the Wall
Hrubeš, Martin ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
Gems in the foundation of the new Jerusalem wall (Rev 21,19-20) were always related with features, as follow: safety, protection, God's independence, basic authority of the twelve apostles, everlasting paradise. Some scholars were seeking a connection between gems and astral systems in ancient times, nevertheless they concede John has utilized these sources in controversy. Despite of scholars' strong effort to identify gemstones exactly, it must be concluded that we are not able to determine all ancient and biblical gemstones according to a modern science. It is not possible to recognize most of twelve breastplate gems (Ex 28,17-20) and some of the new Jerusalem foundation gems because ancient people determined and named gemstones by a completely different way. Therefore, we cannot succeed with dubbing the gems by the names of the old Israel tribes or twelve apostles. As we have few references of gemstones within the entire Bible it is necessary to evaluate them all. Only in this case we could say something stricter on the often mentioned minerals, such as shoham, sapphire, jasper, especially on their symbolic meaning. It has been investigated that the colour, transparency, lustre and hardness are the most important characters of gemstones for the authors of ancient texts. It is essential for...
