Bibliographic citation Martin Šály, Between spirit and tangibility: Dynamics in the life of the New Testament church and limits of its application in history (Mezi duchem a hmatatelností: Dynamika života církve v Novém zákoně a meze jejího uplatnění v historii). Dissertation, Charles University in Prague, Evangelical Theological Faculty, Prague, 2016. Summary The subject of the paper is the New Testament church. The author first draws attention to hermeneutic difficulties of the subject. These include e. g. a distinction between (1) the theological language of the church, which can be found in the NT in the form of many various images of the church, and (2) the NT passages intended to talk about the church as a religious organization, to target church ethics and so on. In the NT, however, the perfect distinction between the two areas is not always possible. Methodically, the work conceives the New Testament church to live in a dynamic space formed with various axes between different poles. Therefore, the NT church is not described here using certain typical attributes, but it is viewed in the dynamic space of "tensions between poles". The following pairs of poles are described for the New Testament church life: spirit - tangibility; The tradition of Jesus of Nazareth - The church tradition; ideal - reality;...

Zavadil, Tomáš ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
Title: Psalm 118 in The New Testament Author: Tomáš Zavadil Department: Department of The New Testament Supervisor: doc. Jiří Mrázek, Th.D. Abstract: The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the usage of the Psalm 118 in The New Testament. The thesis consists of several parts; first, I give a list of all quotations and allusions of the psalm in The New Testament according to the edition Nestle-Aland. Next, I show links between the texts, describe how the original text enriches the meaning of the new contexts and how the intertextuality can be used in biblistic research. In contrast to traditional approach I emphasize the contribution of one-word allusions. I'm also trying to offer historical background of the Psalm and show its use in liturgy, especially in the context of the first century; as the Psalm was one of the most favourite Psalms. The following part of my work gives brief explanations of the passages in The New Testament where their authors quote or refer to the the Psalm 118. I focus especially on pericopes Mk 11,1-11 and Mk 12,1-12, where I analyze the allusions of the Psalm 118 in detail. The conclusion summarizes all findings of this exegetic work. Key words: quotation, allusion, Psalm 118, The New Testament, Jesus, Messiah, king, salvation, stone, feasts, intertextuallity

Christ's descent into hell
Eder, Pavel ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dus, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis Descent of Christ into Hell: Exegesis of 1 Peter 3:18-22 aims to provide an interpretation of a passage of the First Epistle of Peter, part of the New Testament text considered to be a pericope problematic for interpretation. The first part of the thesis presents a brief overview of the First Epistle of Peter in its entirety. Thus, it focuses on the problem of author- ship and closely related dating. It also examines the recipients, the literary form, and the structure of the letter. The second part of the work deals with the passage 3:18-22 which is sometimes called Christ's Descent into Hell. Based on a translation of the original Greek text, of which it also makes its own textual criticism, the thesis aims to examine the original meaning of the text using specialized diachronic and synchronous exegetical methods.

Abraham in the New Testament
Křížová, Jana ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee)
The thesis Abraham in the New Testament commences with the narrative of Abraham in the Book of Genesis, evaluates responses to that story in the Old Testament as well as in the extra-biblical literature, and then examines its use in the New Testament. Abraham is introduced as God's friend, a model of faith, and a forefather. The questions are raised as to who are entitled to think of themselves as heirs to Abraham's promises and what are the consequences for the Curch. Appendices provide a list of Bible verses wherein Abraham is mentioned or which make allusions to his story. Other attachments present key texts from the Old and New Testaments and their literal translations as source materials supporting the conclusions of the main text.

The Interpretation of Matthew 23
Muráň, Benjamín ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
This thesis is an interpretation of Matthew 23. It is an exegesis of a New Testament text focusing only on the text alone and its interpretation; moreover, it does not include history of interpretation and its use in liturgy. Individual chapters are gradually dedicated to textual criticism, comparison of various translations, synopsis, structure of the text, language analysis - where an excursion of the term "ouvai" is added, historical context of Mathew's church, historical connections, addressees, literary context, and finally interpretation of the text alone, which is built on the knowledge of the previous chapters. At the end of this thesis is placed concise summary of the exegesis, which includes results of the exegesis followed by a conclusion, where the message of the text is put in a way it touched me. I understand Jesus' speech toward the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees as a polemic, critical speech, but at the same time as an appeal to repentance. "Ouvai" should lead the listener to realization of wrongdoing and resolution to change. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

A tresury in The New Testament
Rampich-Hamariová, Juliana ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dus, Jan (referee)
The thesis summarizes conclusions of exegetical studies of all fourteen texts containing a word "treasury" (thesauros) according to concordance of the Greek New Testament, and furthermore in three instances substitutes for treasury, using lingual and textual analysis and accessible Czech and foreign language commentaries. As far as other terms are concerned, a term "talent/mina" is used in the Gospel of Mathew and Luke in The parable of the talent/minas, where "talent/mina" fulfills all internal and external attributes for "treasury". In the Gospel of John, where we find no term "treasury", there is chosen "ointment" in the story of Anointing in Bethany for its symbolic meaning and relation to the Easter, where John's version is compared with description of the story in the synoptic gospels. Classifying of concluding interpretational frames of all seventeen texts, we get several fundamental models characterizing the role of "treasury" in the New Testament from the point of view of substance, allegory, symbolism or connotation. The treasury is the image of something precious, strange to the world, something we have a very small experience with, because we usually have not opportunity to be confronted with it. Therefore we need to be led by the values, we have accepted by feeling of Holy Spirit as ours. The...

The Kingdom of God in Paul
Bandhauer, Petra ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
This graduation work focuses on the topic of Kingdom of God which does not belong to the main topics in Pauls Epistles. It seems that the topic of Kingdom of God is not in the centre of Pauls theological concern because there are not often mentioned words about Kingdom of God, Gods government, reign and governing in the Pauls true epistles. But it is in strange discrepancy with synoptical gospels where the topic of Kingdom of God is a principal and in fact main topic. Providing apostle Paul met and knew the tradition about Jesus Christ it must be possible to find some traces of this tradition in his Epistles. The work first researches Pauls theological resources which are based on his Jewish pharisee education. Consequently it interprets Pauls texts, in which he comments directly or indirectly on Kingdom of God, and tries to find relation with texts about Kingdom of God in the synoptical gospels. Then the work tries to describe the character of the topic of Kingdom of God in these gospels. Finally the work compares Pauls conception of Kingdom of God which came up from the exegesis of his texts about enouncement of Kingdom of God as the authors of the synoptical gospels noted.

The Question of Resurrection and Afterlife in Qumran Manuscripts
Veverka, Roman ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
Táto bakalárska práca spája tému vzkriesenia s oblasťou skúmania zvitkov od Mŕtveho mora. Cieľom autora je skúmanie zmŕtvychvstania ako eschatologickej udalosti na konci vekov. 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. Práca s hebrejskými výrazmi je vedená formou hľadania paralel v textoch Starého zákona a vo zvitkoch od Mŕtveho mora vôbec, ako aj skúmania ich významov. Rovnako je dôraz kladený aj na pochopenie celkových súvislosti a hlavných tém manuskriptu Hodayot a následne aj špecificky zvolených pasáží. Tie boli zvolené podľa výskytu tematiky a terminológie špecifickej pre vzkriesenie. Pri skúmaní kontextu sú využívané analýzy štruktúry textu alebo paralelizmov ako poetických figúr. Súčasťou práce je rovnako aj ponúknutie názoru odborníkov na qumránske rukopisy, ktorí sa zaoberali aj témou zmŕtvychvstania. V úvodných častiach je načrtnutý v stručnosti starozákonný výskyt vzkriesenie, ako aj vo zvitkoch od Mŕtveho mora celkovo. Hlavnou úlohou práce je pomocou týchto metód a materiálu odpovedať na otázku, či manuskript Hodayot ponúka dostatočný dôkazový...

Psalm 118 in the New Testament
Veverková, Zuzana ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee)
Our work deals with the role of Psalm 118 in the New Testament, which is also the name of our work. In order to figure out the function of Psalm 118 in the New Testament we analyzed the Psalm itself and offered quotations and remarks of it. Our thesis is that authors of the New Testament have found a new meaning for Psalm 118. This meaning is Christological and along with that we hope that these authors do not take our cited quotations out of context too harshly. Consequently, we provided the reader with an analysis of three New Testament quotations of selected verses, namely the concept of context, exegesis and the use of the psalm 118. The first selected texts deal with confidence in God and the second ones with rejected corner stone. Lastly, we considered the exultations and blessings of the King. We are looking at interpretation of our Psalm and the use of the context of cited verses.
