Exorcism in the Synoptic Gospels
Lupačová, Viktorie ; Melmuk, Petr (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
This work studies the understanding of Jesus' exorcisms in synoptic gospels. On an example of some of the Jesus' authentic statements is shown the Jesus' understanding of his own exorcist activity as the eschatological and soteriological event. In his concept the exorcisms are the manifestation of God's kingdom which is happening in his arrival and his actions. At the time the Jesus' exorcisms have the power to free a man both physically and spiritually. By analyzing individual pericopes of synoptic gospels is illustrated the reception drift of exorcisms which has happened to three authors of synoptic gospels. These have transferred the accent from eschatological and soteriological background of exorcisms to its mission meaning for the early Christian community.

Song of songs, translation and interpretation
Folajtárová, Iva ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Melmuk, Petr (referee)
The main point of this diploma thesis is my own translation and interpretation of the Song of Songs. My interpretation is close to a naturalistic one and I perceive it to be a love poem. However, I feel that the poem transcends the erotic level, just as each relationship is more than simply the two individuals participating in it. Therefore, I am trying to integrate both the naturalistic as well as the allegoric viewpoints into one whole.
