The bachelor thesis "Apocalyptic movie - background, forms and function" deals the apocalyptic movie phenomenon as a functional element in the occidental civilization since 1920s until now.

The birth of the far eastern great power. The foreign policy of Japan, 1894-1905
Kočvar, Jan ; Kovář, Martin (referee) ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor)
ln the first half of the seventeenth century, Japan, hitherto a powerful and absolutely not a backward nation, had been forced by sh6gun's regulations into unnecessary isolation, which let her rnilitary power dirninish and her people imprisoned in narrow area of its home islands. AU opportunities for foreign expansion were rnissed; main reasons were ridicuolous fear of the Tokugawa bakufu from Christianity, which were curiously not settled by extinction of main Christian bases in the Far East, and its selfish resolution not to aUow changes in the balance of power among the bakufu and powerful daimj6 t6zama from remote southwest regions of Japan. At the beginning of the second half of the XIX. century, Japan was a poor and underdeveloped country, almost entirely secluded from the outside world. Once great empire was an easy victim of "foreign barbarians", who handily forced signing of unequal treaties. His Imperial Majesty thus reassumed a reign over a weak country which may be justly described as a serni-colony of foreign intruders. However, wise and resolute leadership of the Meiji government allowed Japan to become a "rich country with strong army" , fuHy capable of revision not only of unequal treaties, but also of her entire international position. Old and deep desire of J apanese society for active...

Bachelorthesis "Jesus in the reception of the contemporary Judaic exegetes David Flusser, Geza Vermes and Pinchas Lapide" looks Jewish exegesis in the gospels, describes the conformity and differences in interpretation and seeks to find its relevance to Christian exegesis. View of Jewish exegetes introduces us deeper into contemporary issues, events are rendered in the context of time and continuity of Jewish tradition. Since Christianity built on Jewish foundations, there is between the two religions exegetes good agreement as to the historical danností. Differences are mainly seen in the interpretation of particular events. Jewish exegete trying to stick resolutely historical interpretation, Christian exegete give greater weight to theological interpretation.

Aliud etiam referam de magno cane quod vidi. Odoric of Pordenone and his encounter(s) with the Great Khan
Liščák, Vladimír
From major part of Latin manuscripts of the travel report of Odoric of Pordenone we learn that he was personally present at an encounter of the Franciscan friars with the Great Khan. In the text known as De reverentia magni Chanis is described the esteem, which allegedly Yesün Temür Khan (reigned 1323–1328) showed to the Christian faith represented by the cross. The event said to occurred during the Great Khan’s journey from Khanbaliq to his Summer Palace in Shangdu. Only a very small part of the Latin manuscripts, which arose in the central-southern Germany (recensio Germanica) in the second half of the 14th century, contain the passage, commonly known as De prædicatione magno Chani. It records, as the only source in Latin, Odoric’s predication before the Khutughtu Khan (Qošila, Küsele, reigned 1328–1329).

Suffering Servant of Lord in Jewish and Christian Tradition
Freund, Barbora ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Roubalová, Marie (referee)
In the work "Suffering servant of the Lord in Jewish and Christian tradition" I primarily deal with the general approach towards the text of Is 52:13 - 53:13. In the first part of this work I present an overview of the historical period in which this text originates. Next I deal with the character of the prophet Isaiah and the main motives of his message. I also mention the manifestation of the songs of a suffering servant in the context of liturgy. For the reader's better orientation, I deal with character of "The Suffering Servant" and my perception of it in traditional Christian and Jewish literature in a separate chapter. One chapter is devoted to a comprehensive categorization of the structure of the text. The focus of this work is in the translation, analysis, and interpretation of the text itself, where my main goal was to show the possible ways to work with the Hebrew text and the potential interpretations this makes possible. I then show a translation of two completely different commentaries to demonstrate how different the interpretation of a text can be when the fundamental preunderstanding differs. The main goal was to give the reader a unified outline of possible approaches to the text and the perception of the servant in a Christian and Jewish environment.

Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Europe
Děkanovská, Kateřina ; Kropáček, Luboš (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee) ; Štampach, Ivan (referee)
The thesis deals with the topic of Christian-Muslim dialogue in some European countries. The first part gives a theoretical understanding of Christian position towards other faiths and the dialogue with them. The author presents some theological questions and practical topics of Christian-Muslim dialogue, because they directly influence, if the Christian community (Church) starts the dialogue or not. This part also introduces to the immigration process of people from Muslim countries to Europe and presents the results of current sociological surveys, both in relation to their integration and creation of identities, and in relation to changes in Muslim religiosity within European space with the aim to show the variability and inner complexity of the Muslim presence in Europe. By giving an overview of the cooperation of Muslims with European and international institutions in the second part it proves, that the 2001 affairs completely changed their political will for the dialogue with Muslims. By an overview of the cooperation of Muslim groups with European ecumenical organisations and the Roman-Catholic Church it shows the general maturity of the dialogue, but also its limits set by structures and low measure of reflection at the grass-root level. The thesis outlines the current life situation of Muslims in...
