Ethical values in the Old and New Testament
Proroková, Marie ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on the ethical values in the Old and New Testament. At the beginning basic concepts are defined, that are essential for the thesis and are related to ethics and moral evaluation. The first part centres on the important events that shaped society and that come from The Bible (Creation, The Ten Commandments, God's contracts with the nation of Israel, the life of Jesus Christ, the parables, The Sermon on the Mount and The Lord's Prayer). The thesis also compares these values with the philosophy of Socrates and then with the approach, that Jan Amos Comenius offered in his work. The second part analyzes views of Christian ethical values today : whether there is a need to know these values, why we should strive for their observance, whether they are current and whether people (Christians and atheists ) honor and follow them. On the basis of the second section I conclude, that our culture is formed under the strong influence of Christianity, these values are still held and are considered important for the functioning of human relationships and society. Although it may seem that these values are not held today, they are still an ideal within our culture and people are trying to achieve them in their lifes.

Ducháč, Jakub ; Bravená, Noemi (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis "Social-Ethical Aspects of the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount" reflects on chapters 5 - 7 of Mathew 's Gospel. It is based on the Greek translation of the Gospel and aims to express the supertemporal prehension of Jesus' ethical requirements by a man of any century, meaning by a man of our current days too. The paper verges on biblical studies and practical and spiritual theology. Diploma thesis focuses on relation between Jesus' requirements and ancient Hebrew ethical and social norms described in Torah and updated in Old Testament Prophets' scriptures. This paper shows their cohesion but emphasizes the Jesus original approach which reveals a deeper meaning of all Torah ethical norms and rules. Following the chapters of Sermon on the Mount , it is described how St. Matthew uses this intention . Social and ethical aspects of this text are highlighted and covered by many Old Testament citations which are related to the background of Jesus' Teachings. This paper also describes basic approaches to the Sermon on the Mount interpretation and shows the reader the direction. But no final conclusion of this topic can be made as we have been dealing with the secret.

The Image of Woman in the Old and New Testaments
Vlnas, Jan ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
he diploma thesis called "P r e s e n t a t i o n o f F e m a l e C h a r a c t e r s i n t he O l d a n d N e w T e s t a m e n t s " endeavours to examine the depiction of female characters in the texts of the Old and New Testaments. The deuterocanonical books and addictions to Esther and Daniel are taken into account too. A list of the female characters and the interpretation of their names proves not only that there are many of them but also their importance. The classification suggested by this thesis is based on women's role in the story of our salvation and representative examples of these characters show their typical features as well as the personal ones. The characters are further described by means of the theological and historical context. Conclusions of these analyses are confronted with the commonly shared views and stereotypes in particular because of their claim that the Bible strongly promotes the patriarchal life concept. The author has concluded that the female characters in the Bible are much more important than people commonly think. Biblical authors naturally shared the patriarchal view of the world, in spite of it we can assume that they didn't belittle the importance of women. T

První New Deal
Černušák, Štěpán ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Váňa, Daniel (referee)
V roce 1933 se stává americkým prezidentem demokratický kandidát Franklin Delano Roosevelt, který přichází s hospodářsko-politickým programem New Deal. Ten měl pro Američany znamenat naději na zlepšení situace v době Velké hospodářské krize. Práce se zabývá první etapou New Dealu od nástupu Roosevelta do funkce prezidenta až do roku 1935, kdy Nejvyšší soud zrušil jeden z pilířů prvního New Dealu. Toto období se vyznačuje ohromným zvýšením státních zásahů do ekonomiky, které Amerika v takové míře doposud nepoznala. Součástí prvního New Dealu byly mamutí projekty veřejných prací, jejichž cílem bylo snížení nezaměstnanosti. V oblasti zemědělství byl vydán zákon známý pod zkratkou AAA (Agriculture Adjustment Act), jehož cílem bylo snížit nabídku zemědělské produkce a zvýšit tím ceny na trhu. Stabilizaci průmyslového podnikání měl přinést tzv. zákon o ozdravení národního průmyslu (NIRA), který vytvářel kodexy čestné konkurence. Cílem práce je analyzovat hospodářskou politiku USA v letech 1933 - 1935 a popsat její dopady na ekonomiku USA.
