Bernátová, Jana ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
The Bachelor ́s thesis "Jewish eschatological thought from the Bible to Maimonides" is concerned with the formation, development and changes of eschatological teaching in the given period. By means of critical analysis it explores the key texts. It observes the main diction of text development in the Bible through the centuries and important revisions. In the postbiblical texts it is focused on the expansion and working out of thought which was originally biblical. Here it also takes account of figures, which contributed to the extension of the eschatological thought. In the section "Talmud" it looks at the tract of Pirkej Avot and notes the development and changes of eschatology in other relevant tracts. The final chapters are devoted to Maimonides, who summarized and influenced these thoughts in a fundamental way. The work hints at the importance of concepts like resurrection, (im)mortality, eternity and Mesiah... for Jews. At the same time it also demonstrates their changes under the influence of history, foreign thoughts and sages. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Christian Metal Music
Boháč, Filip ; Bargár, Pavol (advisor) ; Bargár, Pavol (referee)
In this diploma thesis I am going to analyze Christian metal music with emphasis on its missional character. My starting point is at a hypothetical use of metal as a tool for Christian mission. I assume that new Christian communities will be able to use metal as a cultural tool for creating the inner character of the community. This requires a short introduction to the development of both Christian and secular metal music. To describe Christian mission in this subculture I am going to use the method of praxis matrix, through which I'm going to try to offer more detailed information about the subject in question concerning the topic of the identification of the agent. I'm also going to try to describe the social context, the church affiliation, interpretation of the tradition, concretization of the activity and the ability of self- reflection and spirituality.

The purpose of my thesis is to extend the knowledge about an obscure cultural-religious relationship between Christianity and subculture of Metal music. The relationship between Christianity and Metal does not really come to mind as a topic for social discussion; rather it might appear as pointless or even unthinkable. Nevertheless, Metal music was responding to Christianity right from its origin and likewise Christianity was responding to Metal. Thus there was a specific relationship present from the beginning, which is surely worth to be tracking down. At times there were very acute violent escalations, and at other times they both were able to coexist next to each other or even together. At first, I will try to outline what the concept of Metal means, where it came from and how it came into an existence.
