The life story of the Apostle Philip according to biblical and non-biblical sources
Mrňa, Jaroslav ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
v anglickém jazyce: Licentiate Thesis The life story of the Apostle Philip according to biblical and non-biblical sources deals with the life and mission of Jesus' disciple Philip, whose name appears in the Gospels in the list of the Twelve, and rarely occurs as an individual. For these reasons, his research gets only marginal interest among scholars. Besides an overview of the occurrence of the name Filip in both biblical and non-biblical sources, the study offers literary and linguistic analysis of relevant pericopes from synoptic gospels, the John's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, whose conclusions serve for a detailed historical-theological interpretation of selected texts with a focus on topics related mainly to origin, mission, the mentality, the social status and actions of the Apostle Philip as Jesus' disciple within the community of the Twelve. The Licentiate Thesis also takes into account the occurrence of this character in non-biblical sources and his relation to the person of the same name, the deacon-evangelist Philip.
