Petrová, Milada ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
- English Version Title : RELATION OF JESUS CHRIST TO PEOPLE STANDING ON THE FRINGE OF SOCIETY ON THE BASIS OF GOSPEL'S TESTIMONIES I have directed my study to the subject which is in fact included in the whole public activity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ approached all people standing on the fringe of the ancient society equally with love, justice and considerateness. He made no difference among various groups of people mentioned in this study. He did not prefer one group , on the contrary he used love, mercy, empathy, above all.All these people he protected and he cured their body and soul. As I already mentioned in my introduction, I wish with this study also to bring optimism to all those who are in difficult and complicated life situations and have a heavy burden in life. They should not rely upon themselves and their surroundings, on others, on secular support or assistance only, but they should rely through their conversion upon Son of God - Jesus. The teaching of Jesus Christ and his followers - disciples should be a great inspiration to all Christian churches acting in our present society in these days.

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.
