Christ's prototypes in Isaac and Joseph Egyptian
Yahoda, Tetyana ; Větrovec, Pavel (advisor) ; Hřebík, Josef (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Christ's prototypes in Isaac and Joseph Egyptian" shows through hermeneutical principle of spiritual interpretation of the Scripture how two significant patriarch figures of Israel nation - Isaac and Joseph - herald the New Testament image of human Jesus Christ in particular in the context of his redemption of Easter. After a short reflection of the relation between the Old and New Testament the study passes to the analysis of the particular key texts: oblation of Isaac in Gn 22 and the longer and coherent narration about Joseph in Gn 37; 39 - 45, in context with Gn 37 - 50. As to the firs patriarch Isaac, the sacrifice of the son strikes very deeply his father Abraham, but he obeys the word of God. We can see the same obedience also in the sacrifice of the son of God and in the desire of the Heavenly Father that people have faith based on recognition of the truth of God's love. As regards the second patriarch Joseph, the rejected son becomes a promise and hope for the life of many people from different nations and even a reason for a conversion of brothers. The analogy witha Christian soteriology is obvious and intentional.

Transformation of Sacrifice in the Scripture. Theology of Sacrifice.
DVOŘÁK, Josef
Diachronic comparison of three political and religious systems of three independent geographical areas (ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Syria Palestine) with the faith of ancient Israel shows certain aspects important for the kerygmatic theological message of Tanach as well as the New Testament. Significance of the king, priest, prophet, and religious ceremonies in the temple is derived from their specific understanding of the divine. However, their religious systems completely lack (with the exception of Israel) eschatology. The message about the transcendent/immanent God Lord (Jesus' Father) is impossible to reconstruct from the available sources through diachronic methodology. Furthermore it cannot be understood as a mere result of religious synchronic redefinition of the Scriptures. The New Testament transforms the Old Testament religious system to narrative kerygma about the sacrifice of both Father and Son. It speaks about the Risen Lord, who is able to reconcile God with his adherent. Such a message is unheard of (unexpected) in the Second Temple Judaism. Even the Church Fathers do not interpret Christ's conscious ebed-like sacrifice along the lines of the ritual forgiveness of the OT. Based on the scholarly analyses from the proponents of the so called Prague school, as well as those coming from theologians stressing the paradigm of biblical interpretation through the event of resurrection, this dissertation concluded in the subject matter of soteriological transformation of the sacrifice the following: Agnus Dei, with his crucifixion being a ritual slaughter, founds the new community through his own Pasch, which has also the futuristic (eschatological) aspect both in the NT and in the faith of the early Church. The meaning of this sacrifice will be actualized in 'drinking of the chalice' by the Lord Jesus with the resurrected Church in the coming new Creation. Thus, the Eucharist becomes a unique 'cultic' homage (Temple ceremony) through existential acceptance of the risen Lord. The same concept can be found at the heart of the Patristic thinking (inclusive paradigm of Christ's sacrifice, that is Christian obedience even unto death) . The Fathers understood the sacrifice as means of overcoming alienation from God by metamorphosis of one's life based on Christ's sacrifice not to God, but to people. Such a sacrifice is life-giving activity of the Lord God himself and is able to renew the life of God's people and make them heirs to the eternal life.

The Feast
Orel Tomáš, Jakub ; Šejn, Miloš ; Ruller, Tomáš
For the realization of forest feast, I chose the form of a happening, and consciously find myself on the edge of art and ritual. I see art as both artifacts created a situation for forest receptions, so the process of formation and reflection receptions, concept or screenplay. Different variants of scenarios that stand in zákadě events I describe below in thinking about work. Also, the script for which I have reached the gradual development considerations, is to read the below invitation to the event, enclosed in the picture. A Feast For example, in ancient Greece began and ended the festival of sacrifice to the gods. I decided to accentuate this motive. The victim from receiving food, waiver of thanksgiving everyday dish deepens, it becomes a conscious activity. In the Christian world has in this sense, the greatest significance of the Last Supper, its symbolism are the most important ritual in the Christian Mass. The feast of Christ gradually became a major theme in the history of art to the modernist and contemporary design. However, I wanted to draw your own version of a symbolic feast as it is for me the key theme of the relationship between man and nature, I placed a feast to the natural landscape. That is my role model in the theater of orgies and mysteries Herman Nitsch and installation Woman House Dinner Party by Judy Chicago. My happening also counts with people, which is thought imminent. Already during previous meetings with small domestic fire, we realized that it is an intimate ritual and should be well participants choose to debate with them about the situation, well brighten intention. Some of the invited guests with my thoughts directly disagreed and refused to participate. That's why I later reviewed, it is a community event. Close relationships that are fundamental perception of that experience helps a reality shared apartment, in the city center on Minority 12. Here, daily life is characterized by the features of a small community. One of the reasons why some invitees refused participation is likely that not so common reality. They do not have a clear awareness of the artistic realities and contexts that allow action should be viewed with a certain detachment, as a result of some conceptual activity of the author. Flavor through community acquires a more significant role if Ideally happening repeat (turns into a ritual), but this time actually with cultivars, products directly in preparation for this purpose. So in terms of actual conscious experience of the origin of food and the principle of submission (the victim): That is their commitment to a particular location to maintain the robust earth energy. The issue of my presentation happening is an issue. I think there is a need, the essence lies in the internal happenings and common experiences of the people involved. Therefore I kept an open space, which form when presenting choose. During implementation, however, consistently work documents. Some moments, however, are not transferable camera. Thus documenting the needs of the thesis and its presentation. Ideally, in the future feasts I want to accentuate documentation retreat.

"Living sacrifice" as a model of life-attitude
DVOŘÁK, Josef
"Living sacrifice" (established by Abraham, continuing in Job, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and emphasized by apostle Paul) is for me a life-attitude originating in relationship with God. The importance and depth of personal self-sacrifice was highlighted by F. M. Dostojevskij. He transformed it into various characters in his novels, which understandably depicted the theme of selfless life in all the complexity of current culture. According to my opinion, selfless existence is a result of God´s wor in a human being. It is a life recast and transformed by the Word of God. A man can only open himself (and decide) to live like a ?living sacrifice?. The beginning of this role consists in unconditional adhering to God, although He can even appear to be a person´s adversary (like in the case of Abraham and Job). ?Living sacrifice? existence is not a gesture to ?bribe? God, or to dazzle crowds. It is a self-sacrifice originating in faith, that ? both in results and secrecy, manifests itself as a creative and life-enhancing selflessness, referring to God and overcoming evil.

Shifts in Perception of Melchizedeks Figure in the Old Testament, Intertestamental Literature and the New Testament
POSPÍŠIL, Petr
This work concerns the shifts in the perception of the figure of Melchizedek in the Old Testament, Intertestamental sources and the New Testament. It explicates three central biblical texts which are speaking about Melchizedek. These texts are: the book of Genesis 14, Psalm 110 and the Epistle to the Hebrews. The work also aims to notice perceiving Melchizedek{\crq}s figure in non-biblical sources, like Qumran texts, Targums, apocryphs or the testimonies of church fathers. The findings coming from these sources are compared together in the conclusion of the work. Each of traditions is different, so we can not make unambiguous conclusion about figure of Melchizedek. Some non-biblical Melchizedekian traditions still continue, some others have disappeared entirely.
