Healing interventions of Jesus
Jarešová, Patricia ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Tato práce se pokouší z biblického pohledu zmapovat téma nemoci a uzdravování ve starověku v oblasti Izraele. Zaměřuje se nejdříve na starozákonní vyprávění o uzdravování proroky a poté na novozákonní příběhy, kdy Ježíš a jeho učedníci uzdravovali nemocné a křísili mrtvé. Bible popisuje různý charakter těchto činů: uzdravení z nemoci, uzdravení z tělesného nebo smyslového postižení, uzdravení z duševní choroby, odpuštění hříchů a exorcismy. Ježíš, jeho učedníci, stejně jako starozákonní proroci, konali tyto skutky na znamení přítomnosti Božího království. Jsou to svědectví (znamení) o Boží moci a mají vést přítomné lidi k prohloubení víry. Zjišťujeme, že Ježíš nikde v bibli neříká, že nemoc je trestem za hřích, i když starozákonní člověk takto mnohdy uvažoval. Bůh stojí vždy na straně života a bible nám mnoha způsoby sděluje, že život má hluboký smysl. Člověk může právě v krizové situaci své nemoci, nebo v ohrožení života nabýt s Kristem odvahy a důvěry. Klíčové pojmy: Spása, uzdravení, hřích, mocné činy, odpuštění hříchů, Království Boží, svědectví o víře, důvěra. Abstract This paper attempts to map topic of illness and healing in ancient Israel from a biblical perspective. It focuses first on the Old Testament stories of healing by prophets and then on the New Testament stories when Jesus and his...

Kábrt, Jiří ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Kocourková, Lucie (referee)
Diploma thesis "Alternative medicine in the specialized media and reflections of these phenomena in the selected mainstream press media" is researching specialized magazines with content oriented on alternative medicine emerging in the 90's of the previous century and in one case in the beginning of the 21st century. Thesis specifically examinates magazines - social magazine Reflex (on account of alternative medicine materials in the 1990 and 1991), Regena ( 1990 and 1991), Regenerace (1993 and 1994) and Meduňka (2004). In their first years magazines are described from historical and content perspective and in the same time they are contrasted with the topical volume of their predecessors (except of Reflex magazine). Another part of thesis is dedicated to observing two important czech daily papers - Mladá fronta / Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny (at the same observed periods). All five volumes of both periodicals contained numerous references which proves attractivity of these themes for society as a whole. While the analysis of specialized magazines was dealing with form by which are people interested in alternative medicine, reading of Mladá fronta / Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny evaluated general attitude of media to reader mostly uninitiated to these matters.

Light in the palm: An anthropological study of the Reiki phenomenon
Proboštová, Jana ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
The interest of anthropology of religion often focuses on the view of life and values of practitioners of a religion or spiritual system and the following text is put into the same context. This master thesis deals with the Reiki phenomenon - originally eastern spiritual technique that was, just like other similar philosophical-spiritual systems, spread out in America and Europe in the second half of twentieth century. Reiki has another distinct feature, besides spirituality. It is its affiliation to so called healing systems because of which I do not consider it purely spiritual system, but rather specific spiritual praxis with healing aspect that is historically connected with medical environment. I base my theory not only on anthropology of religion, but I also think in terms of medical anthropology and the theory of embodiment. Through explaining of basic Reiki principles, I am showing that the world of Reiki practitioners is to a certain extent divided. The evolution of the teaching led to many significantly different modifications and to current state, where these modifications coexist and make one single definition of the teaching very difficult. The perspective of embodiment allows me to focus more in detail on the healing praxis itself and its most important aspect - the body, which I see...

Defence of doctors and practitioners applying traditional Chinese medicine and how they deal with the criticism from their conventional colleagues
Gutwirtová, Aneta ; Lucký, Jozef (advisor) ; Drábková, Hana (referee)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been common practice for many years, and part of the treatment plan of several million patients in the world. This includes areas such as Great Britain, USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and China. However, its possibilities in the territory of the Czech Republic are limited and insufficiently mapped (the area of practicing TCM for non-medical education practitioners). The thesis analyzes the current situation of doctors and practitioners applying TCM in the territory of the Czech Republic compared to other countries where TCM has been successfully established within the health system for many years. It also aims to find out how doctors and practitioners advocate their focus, what reasons they present for treatment with the TCM and how they deal with the criticism of their colleagues from the West. The work will include findings on why conventional physicians are heading towards Eastern medicine. Due to the debate of the topic, the thesis will continue to deal with the legislative anchoring of TCM in the laws of the Czech Republic and the world. The theoretical part of the thesis presents basic concepts related to the history and philosophy of the TCM. It also describes methods of diagnostics, treatment and pillars that the TCM supports...

Jesus Heals on Sabath Day: Mark 3:1-6
Kadlec, Tomáš ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
There are several references to the passion of Jesus Christ in the Gospels even before the Crucifixion narrative. The diploma thesis discusses the first reference to Jesus' suffering in the Marcan version (Mark 3:1-6). It narrates the healing of a man with withered hand, which Jesus performed in the synagogue on the day of Sabbath before the eyes of Pharisees and Herodians. This is the last one in series of five Galilean conflicts. The importance of the passage is among others in its context with the crucifixion. The thesis starts with examination of the text from a perspective of textual criticism, context, and synoptic comparison. It also discusses the themes of the passage from the perspective of biblical symbolism: synagogue, Sabbath, hand, dry/withered, healing, Pharisees, and Herodians. The last chapter focuses on the revelation of Jesus' power, which approves him as the Lord of the Sabbath here and at the same time functions as a reference to his future crucifixion and resurrection.
