Evil as privatio boni in the works of Aurelius Augustinus and Carl Gustav Jung
Malý, Jakub ; Halama, Jindřich (advisor) ; Fischer, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of evil as privatio boni according to the teachings of Augustine of Hippo and the conception of evil in the work of Carl Gustav Jung who denied this Augustine's teachings. In the thesis I analyze attitudes that adopt both thinkers to categories of good and evil in relation to impacts of their conceptions on understanding of God, self-understanding of man, of his life, death and salvation, further of the relation of God and man and the human moral responsibility before God and society. Augustine maintains that evil is an absence of good, but Jung thinks that the reality is put together from the balance of good and evil. Their attitudes I scarify with the aid of the secondary literature and the explanation of that biblical places that both thinkers refer to.

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...

"In Love He Predestinated Us..." Predestination. Sain Paul, Saint Augustin and Vladimír Boublík
BRICHCÍNOVÁ, Kateřina
The doctrine of predestination in Western theology had for centuries been burdened by the dualistic conception of Saint Augustine. The bishop of Hippo held that it is God?s intention to reveal His mercy on a small number of those predestined to salvation and His justice on a far larger mass of rightly damned sinners. He came to be convinced that salvation is an utterly undeserved gift and consequently he negated the importance of human freedom. His interpretation would rather give rise to anxiety than the hope Scripture speaks about. Vladimír Boublík dared to oppose Augustine?s authority and presented an entirely different solution based on modern exegesis of the Pauline epistles. He defined predestination as an irreversible divine decision the content of which is the participation of all humanity on divine life in Christ. The present paper shows that Boublík?s theology stems from not just academic, but above all existential search for the answer to the question of human destiny marked with sin, suffering and death. It is already apparent on the pages of the spiritual diary the author kept during his studies. All his writing shows the intention to address his contemporaries and lead them to Christ who stands in the centre of the author?s thinking. This paper attempts to follow up on the work of the Czech exile theologian. It presents his conception of predestination and further develops it in some respects. Besides other things, it throws light on the previously unclarified problem of Christ?s primacy in predestination. Vladimír Boublík?s thesis is confronted with objections that have been raised against it and its content is compared with the content of today?s contribution to the topic.

AIDS - a Disease or God´s Punishment?
VOBORNÍKOVÁ, Daniela
Present work deals with the solution of the strain between Jewish-Christian picture of good and loving God and a tragic reality of AIDS phenomenon. The work looks for answers to questions such as: Is a human being able to influence their health by an ethical way of life? To what extend are we responsible for our diseases and difficulties? Is a disease God´s punishment?{\crqq} What is (can be) the sense of a disease? How can we explain the suffering of the innocent? The work looks for the connections between a disease and a sin, between AIDS and an immoral life. The work presents the HIV/AIDS issue as a phenomenon concerning all people without a difference. It solves if it is possible to perceive AIDS as a kind of God punishment for sinful and immoral behaviour of people, as a consequence of structural maleficence or a personal carelessness of a human person. It points out the methods of primary prevention and reminds the task of a Christian to bring Christian values into a human society. The way out is found in the change of thinking and behaviour of people: in the appreciation and acquirement of ethical demands and opening to God blessing for the assumption of belief.

VÁŇOVÁ, Gabriela

The work ranks among the contributions connected with gender roles research in the society of the studied period. The sources that it takes on come from the 16th and 17th centuries and they are aimed against woman{\crq}s wickedness which were connected with woman{\crq}s carnality. The body as a tool of a trespass is represented as a connecting unit through the individual chapters and at the same time it work as the main symbol of the woman{\crq}s trespass. In connexion with the carnality the most feared sins are mentioned, such as pride, adultery or fornication. In additoin to these particular trespasses the moralist authors also pointed out possible snares or potential ways leading to the trespass, such as dance or a pure and simple woman{\crq}s glimpse. Even these opinions show it was very important to keep out women of ill fame because even a simple slander could raise doubts of everyone{\crq}s probity. The aim of the diploma work is an elucidation of images of women dominated in the society in the early modern period. The work should outline a certain bipolarity that is, in connexion wiht a women, evident in the moralist authors` writings. In this a woman of the early modern period was conceived either as a redeemer or on the other hand as a wicked woman whereas the main thought of the work elucidation of period opinions of a woman as a sinner is.
