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.

Pilate in History and Theology of Gospels
Hon, Jan ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jiří (referee)
Pilate in History and Theology of the Gospels, Jan Hon The Apostles' Creed or simply "Creed" says: "suffered under Pontius Pilate". Such formulation can be interpreted once as timestamp - he suffered in the time of Pontius Pilate. In Czech, but also in Latin it also sounds, that he suffered by his endeavour and by his will. The creed does not mention the high priest Caiaphas, the council (Sanhedrin) or the betrayal. Some people, Christians or non-Christians think the formulation could appear more like a time stamp because the Jewish authorities of his time are responsible and guilty for Jesus' passion. Such confidence is based on the Gospel narrative that presents Jesus' trial as showing a picture of a compassionate Pilate who efforts to rescue Jesus. It only blames the high priests, the scribes and the council for Jesus' crucifixion. It is known, that such picture of the trial at the Roman governor as well as at council does comply with the reality known from non- biblical sources. This composition gives a short overview of this. It also shows, that Pilate's guilt can be proven purely from the biblical text. Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate and the phrase "suffered under" should be understood in full extend of meanings.

Problem of Grace in St. Augustin
Spiegelová, Veronika ; Rybák, David (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with St. Augustine and his theology of grace. It briefly introduces the context of Augustine's philosophy, explains the basic terms, and mainly focuses on the interpretation of Augustine's study of grace. It first analyses the thoughts and ideas of Saint Paul, the Apostle, which are relevant to the subject. Then it moves on to explaining the continuous development of Augustine's study of grace: how it is portrayed in his early works, the way in which it developed in his argument with Pelagius, and finally it introduces Augustine's most radical idea - the concept of predestination from his work To Simplician. The last part of the thesis covers the corresponding topic of love, specifically the love of neighbour, as it is discussed by Hannah Arendth in her work Love and Saint Augustine.

Title: Psalm 118 in The New Testament Author: Tomáš Zavadil Department: Department of The New Testament Supervisor: doc. Jiří Mrázek, Th.D. Abstract: The purpose of my thesis is to analyze the usage of the Psalm 118 in The New Testament. The thesis consists of several parts; first, I give a list of all quotations and allusions of the psalm in The New Testament according to the edition Nestle-Aland. Next, I show links between the texts, describe how the original text enriches the meaning of the new contexts and how the intertextuality can be used in biblistic research. In contrast to traditional approach I emphasize the contribution of one-word allusions. I'm also trying to offer historical background of the Psalm and show its use in liturgy, especially in the context of the first century; as the Psalm was one of the most favourite Psalms. The following part of my work gives brief explanations of the passages in The New Testament where their authors quote or refer to the the Psalm 118. I focus especially on pericopes Mk 11,1-11 and Mk 12,1-12, where I analyze the allusions of the Psalm 118 in detail. The conclusion summarizes all findings of this exegetic work. Key words: quotation, allusion, Psalm 118, The New Testament, Jesus, Messiah, king, salvation, stone, feasts, intertextuallity
