Jičínská, Jana ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Větrovec, Pavel (referee)
The present thesis focuses on the topic of exorcism in the Synoptic Gospels. The introductory chapters characterize the practice of exorcism in the cultures of antiquity and Judaism, clarifying some of the specific emphases of these rituals. It then introduces the perspective of the New Testament on the subject, including a short list of terminology related to the designation of the enemy of God in the synoptics. Separate chapters are dedicated to Jesus' statements about exorcism, exorcism narratives and general reports. Each chapter treats in great detail the different exegeses, and the relevant terminological and stylistic peculiarities. The merits of the individual findings, which are summarized in the concluding chapter, are duly assessed from several perspectives, primarily biblical theology, but also underscoring some issues concerning pastoral theology and the practical applications of these findings.

Healing interventions of Jesus
Jarešová, Patricia ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Tato práce se pokouší z biblického pohledu zmapovat téma nemoci a uzdravování ve starověku v oblasti Izraele. Zaměřuje se nejdříve na starozákonní vyprávění o uzdravování proroky a poté na novozákonní příběhy, kdy Ježíš a jeho učedníci uzdravovali nemocné a křísili mrtvé. Bible popisuje různý charakter těchto činů: uzdravení z nemoci, uzdravení z tělesného nebo smyslového postižení, uzdravení z duševní choroby, odpuštění hříchů a exorcismy. Ježíš, jeho učedníci, stejně jako starozákonní proroci, konali tyto skutky na znamení přítomnosti Božího království. Jsou to svědectví (znamení) o Boží moci a mají vést přítomné lidi k prohloubení víry. Zjišťujeme, že Ježíš nikde v bibli neříká, že nemoc je trestem za hřích, i když starozákonní člověk takto mnohdy uvažoval. Bůh stojí vždy na straně života a bible nám mnoha způsoby sděluje, že život má hluboký smysl. Člověk může právě v krizové situaci své nemoci, nebo v ohrožení života nabýt s Kristem odvahy a důvěry. Klíčové pojmy: Spása, uzdravení, hřích, mocné činy, odpuštění hříchů, Království Boží, svědectví o víře, důvěra. Abstract This paper attempts to map topic of illness and healing in ancient Israel from a biblical perspective. It focuses first on the Old Testament stories of healing by prophets and then on the New Testament stories when Jesus and his...
