Paradoxes in New Testament Wisdom
Škaloud, Radomír ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
In the New Testament is captured a number of short statements, which with its simplicity and clarity easily enters the memory of readers. These wisdoms carry in themselves tidings and sapience, which offer a possibility to be chosen by a man for his own life. That, what is commonly accepted as an obvious thing, is studied from the different angle of vision in here and it allows the reader to leave a long custom of thinking more easily and make a fresh life. In this thesis we analyse only the four following words of wisdom from among a great number: "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." Mt 6,19-21;"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Sk 20,33-35; "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." Mk 9,33-37; "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it." Mt 16,24-26.
