The Power of Word and its Manifestation and Consequence in the New Testament
Svatek, Martin ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
There are many different ways that the power of a word is expressed in the New Testament. In most cases, this power is bound to the person of Jesus Christ, and its outcome is positive. Through his word Jesus not only heals, exorcizes, and brings the dead back to the life, but he also curses. This thesis discusses the question, what the New Testament says about various imprecations, maledictions and many other negative appearances of a word and the demonstrations of its power. This thesis comprises an overall outline of the passages from the New Testament and their commentaries, which appear to be close to the selected theme. In the first part the thesis deals with the notion and relevance of a "word" and "human speech" for people and their relationship with God. In the second part, this thesis delves into the area of imprecations and maledictions. The third part is dedicated to promises and oaths. The fourth part aims to the theme of wrath and how its expressed in words in the texts of the New Testament, that are connected with the selected theme, including the commentaries. The aim of the thesis is primarily to present the issue of the impact of negative words on human life including the accessible interpretations of selected parts and their evaluation, which is a subject, in my opinion, that in general...

Ethical Aspects of the Gospel of Luke
Heinrichová, Marie ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerning the ethical aspect of Saint Luke's Gospel. The focus is on Jesus, who is shown as an example of ethical life and the basis of his moral teaching. These teachings are penance, correct property usage, loving fellowman, disciples, prayer and reversing the fate in connection to the welfare of poor people. This thesis also looks at God's kingdom and the ethical ramification which it yields. The moral teaching of Jesus is the subject matter of Evangelism and therefore Luke shows Jesus as a preacher on a Great Journey. The second part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of The Sermon on the Plain and parables about the Good Samaritan which graphically illustrate moral command and its practical application in life. The selected texts have been analyzed in the framework of individual versus in relationship to the whole teaching in which they are placed (in context to the whole work). This diploma thesis is based upon descriptive methods and analysis of text.

Personage of the Apostle Peter in the canonical gospels
Štemberková, Marie ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
The Bachelor thesis The Figure of the Apostle Peter in Canonical Gospels is focussed on displaying of the leading Jesus disciple depicted in all the Gospels and the most frequently mentioned of Jesus' disciples. All canonical Gospels had their origin with a certain time span from the depicted events, so it is necessary to take into account the later reflection of his authentic life story. The first chapter summarizes the basic facts about his origin and social inclusion, attention is also paid to the use of the native name of Simon in comparison with the accepted name of Peter, by which he entered the history of the Church. The chapter provides an overview of all Petrine pericopes, verses and even brief references. The second chapter discusses the pericopes and verses shared by at least of two gospels, observing their coincidences and differences. The third chapter is focussed on special pericopes, recorded only by one of the evangelists, who, in these cases, drew on special traditions. Simon Peter was called by Jesus to follow among the first disciples, from the beginning he played a leading role among them, profiled as their spokesperson. Even though the gospel writers gave Peter individual character traits, he often had in their concepts to represent a typical Jesus disciple, with all the...

Týfa, Petr ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane: Jesus Prayer to Father in the Context of the Passion Story The presented thesis concerns with the issue of Jesus prayer in Gethsemane garden and its meaning in the passion story. It compares the accents of the evangelists and explicates the pericope with focus on the ultimate meaning of the event. The thesis has the form of exegesis, follows the publications of the important Czech and foreign authors, who are concerned with the issue more deeply, and tries to look for the interfaces and the distinctions in their theological views. The thesis shows and develops the important issues, which appears in the story. It is primarily the relationship between Jesus and his disciples, who fail, when they should offer the assistance to his Master and, also the issue of anxiety and fear, what Jesus passes through, alone. No less important motive is also the relation between the soul and the body. The thesis emphasizes the double meaning of the event - the historical and the eschatological ones; in that frame then discusses the issue of the hour, the cup and the temptation. The thesis also points to many references to the Lord's Prayer, and to the issue of the vigilance of the disciples, in meaning of their readiness for the spiritual battle. At the end, the thesis tries to...

The function of the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount
Janovská, Kristýna ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Pavlík, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis called "The function of the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount" deals with the analysis of the six Jesus' antitheses, which are part of the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. The aim of this thesis was to analyze these antitheses in the context of creating the context of the Jewish Christian community which, after 70 AD, was in a certain existential crisis. Evangelist Matthew was probably a Christian from the Jews rather than the Gentiles, which led to his effort to display on Jesus as a Jew a relationship to the Law that does not change and is still up to date. Each antithesis is initiated by reference to the Old Testament commandments or provisions, followed by the interpretation of Jesus, which confirms his authority to the God called the Messiah, who will bring the people out of the slavery of sin. Jesus is the new Moses who puts the provisions of the Old Testament or the commandment into the light of greater justice. My principles for analyzing these opposites were the use of methods and knowledge of modern research along with the narrative method. My endeavor was to show Jesus as the one who respects the Law and fulfills what has been said by the prophets.

Kingdom of God in a Multidimensional Understanding
Očenášová, Jaroslava ; Vogel, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
The object and the aim of this thesis is to understand the Kingdom of God in a multidimensional model of reality that Karl Heim represented in his book Glaube und Denken (Belief and Thinking). The starting point of this work is a biblical glad tidings of God's Kingdom. The author is trying to do in the first part of this thesis at least a fractional analysis of the understanding of this message during a history and in the next part also the synthesis of its interpretations within the multidimensionality, which she is also striving to explain. The hypothesis of this work is that different interpretations of the Kingdom of God cannot be seen separately but simultaneously on the whole, in the light of the highest dimension, in the light of truth that is with God. At the end of this work is this hypothesis largely confirmed in interpretations of some theologists in the 20th century.

Women in Jesus' public ministry in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 8:1-3; 10:38-42; 23:49)
Heinrichová, Marie ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
The Diploma thesis "Women in Jesus' public ministry in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 8:1- 3; 10:38-42; 23:49)" analyzes 3 selected extracts from the Gospel of St. Lukas specifically focusing on women. Those accompanied Jesus, Marie and Martha and the women under the cross at the time of his crucifixion. The selected texts have been analyzed individually but also in relationship to their context in the whole Gospel of St. Lukas. Lukas writes about women more often than other Evangelists. His view is in this way completely remarkable and progresive for this time, he describes women more positively than their male counterparts. Lukas progressivness is demonstrated in small segments of his writing which exemplifies his undrestanding of the role of women in Grecian, Roman or Jewish societies. Selected extracts from the Gospel of Lukas each, in thier own way, show the important role of women in Jesus' public activity. Among Jesus' followers, as has been recorded by Lukas, women belonged to this group they listened to his words, supported him and accompanied him on his way to the cross. Lukas tries to explain the meaning which God intended for women in the history of the path to Salvation.
