Černá, Zuzana ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
The Master's thesis Prayer in the Luke's Parables first deals with the definition of the parable itself: how the modern narratology understands it, how was this literary form used in the Old Testament and in the New Testament connotations. Further, it discusses the Gospel of Luke as a separate literary unit with an editorial plan regarding especially parables, and also describes the circumstances of its inception, the recipients, contemporary realities, etc. The next part outlines the basic teachings on prayer in the Church Documents. Then the thesis separately analyses both the grammar and the interpretation of three particularly important Luke's parables concerning prayer (L 11,513; L 18,18; 18, L 18,914). Their common contribution to Jesus' teachings on prayer is summarized in the conclusion.

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 topic of this work is expressed by its title: The View of the Authorship of the Pentateuch in the Course of History.

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...
