Kříž, Martin ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Matějec, Tomáš (referee)
Altruism in Biblical Texts and Philosophical-Religious Texts of China Keywords Altruism, Old Testament, New Testament, Christianity, agape, social teaching of the church, secularism, atheism, sociobiology, Confucianism. The topic of this thesis is altruism as it is manifested in the texts of the Old and New Testaments, in the social doctrine of the Church and in Confucianism. Altruism is described as a very abstract concept that originated and came into use in a certain polemic against religious concepts, and attention is given to how further usage has blurred this polemical edge and how Christians themselves use it. The thesis compares the concept of altruism with the specific concepts of amor, eros, caritas and agape in the Christian tradition. The concept of altruism in the Western tradition of thought from Aguste Comte to contemporary sociobiologists is discussed. An excursus into Chinese culture shows an ethical system with different starting points. The social doctrine of the Church as a response to current problems and new currents of thought is presented from the late 19th century to the present.

Václav Majer and the Social Democratic Party. The Fortunes of the Leading Figure of One Stream within the Czechoslovak Social Democracy
Brož, Jan ; Kocian, Jiří (advisor) ; Zahradníček, Tomáš (referee) ; Horák, Pavel (referee)
The present thesis deals with the political career of a Social Democratic politician Václav Majer. No specialized paper has so far been dedicated to his fifty-year-lasting career, even though his position in history of the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party is far from negligible. Václav Majer is particularly known as a leader of the "right"/anti-communist wing within the Social Democratic Party during a short spell of Czechoslovak history from 1945 to 1948 (so-called Third Republic). However, he had started his career much earlier at the beginning of the First Czechoslovak Republic in Louny District. In mid-thirties he had moved to Prague and kept on working after the Munich Agreement was signed, and during the Protectorate as well. At the beginning of 1940 he emigrated to the United Kingdom. During the Second World War he has started his career in high level exile politics in London. After the Communist coup d'état in 1948, which had ended the period of the Third Republic, Majer left Czechoslovakia again. He lived and worked in exile till his death. Attention is paid to Majer's position on political scene and to development of his relations with other political actors. My research is based on study of archival documents, as well as study of specialized books, memoirs, newspapers and periodicals.

The Kingdom of God in the Synoptic Gospels as an Object and Source of Hope
Sluka, Jiří ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
The work has three main parts, one on the kingdom of God, one on hope, and one on the relationship between the kingdom of God and hope. The first part looks for all occurrences of the word "kingdom" in the New Testament and examines the differences between the terms "kingdom of God", "kingdom of heaven", and "kingdom of the Father". It then turns its attention to the meaning and content of the term kingdom of God. The section on hope presents historical and contemporary definitions of hope, types of hope according to psychological research of the last two decades, looks for the difference between the object and the source of hope, describes the specifics of Christian hope, and looks for reasons why the word "hope" does not appear in the Gospels. In the next section, the thesis defines 16 classes of statements about the kingdom of God in the Synoptic Gospels, categorizes each verse into groups, and evaluates them according to their relationship to hope. It locates and presents the principles, called the building blocks of Christian hope, that are based on the kingdom of God presented by Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels. It then draws from the results the benefits of hope for people in their efforts to enter the kingdom of God. The paper also presents some Gospel passages about the kingdom of God that...

The role of musical instruments in the cult of ancient Israel
Rais, Věra Zdislava ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Větrovec, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of musical instruments in the Bible. In the first part, it introduces the reader to the musical issues of prehistoric times and the ancient Orient. The music of the ancient Near East was perceived primarily by means of mathematics and in close connection with astronomy and religion. In the second part, it deals with the names of musical instruments and musical terms as they are mentioned in the Bible. Musical instruments are examined in this thesis practically exclusively from the point of view of religiosity, prophecy, establishment of the cult by Moses, Kings David and Solomon in the context of the surrounding cultures. The musical instruments, the kinnor and the shofar became a symbol of the sacred relationship to God and the freedom of the people of Israel, which is why more space is devoted to these instruments. The primary source is the Tanach, from which the author took the original Hebrew musical terms.

The coming of the Son of Man in the light of Matthew's Eschatological sermon (Matth 24-25)
Poppr, Vojtěch ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Matějec, Tomáš (referee)
The diploma thesis The coming of the Son of Man in the light of Matthew's Eschatological sermon (Matth 24-25) is composed of three chapters. The first chapter contains a synoptic comparison Jesus eschatological speeches in Matthew's Gospel with the eschatological speeches of other Synoptic authors. The second chapter contains an exegis of the whole of Matthew's eschatological speech (Mt 24-25), working with various commentaries on these chapters of Matthew's Gospel. The last third chapter builds on some of the findings of the previous chapter and deals directly with the central theme of this work, which is the coming of the Son of Man. After a short discussion of the christological title Son of man, this chapter digresses thematically to the area of mariology. But this digression is not an artificial insertion of the figure of the Virgin Mary into the theme of the coming of the Son of Man, because it arises from the text of the work itself, and from the thought processes contained in it.

Healing miracles in the Gospel of Matthew as a foreshadowing of Jesus' soteriology
Brejla, Pavel ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
The thesis "Healing Miracles in the Gospel of Matthew, the Preface of Jesus' Soteriology" sets the task of briefly and clearly presenting Jesus' miracles of healing in the perspective of the post-Evangelical Jesus, as the evangelist Matthew writes about them. The introductory chapters are devoted to the individual miracles, which will be explained by a descriptive method, assess their technical side, their classification and storage within the framework of the Gospel as well as their content. The work then analyzes the individual miracles by the exegetic method, with an emphasis on the context of Jesus' forthcoming messianism. Jesus, through his miracles, presents the authority of the divine being, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has power over the laws of nature, but also over the diseases of death. The acts of healing are the messianic signs of the coming of the expected Jewish Messiah, the "wealthy king," who will deliver Israel from oppression. They attract the attention of John the Baptist, and Jesus presents to him the miracles of healing as proof of the fulfillment of the messianic expectation. In a separate chapter, the thesis analyzes the quote of the prophet Isaiah as presented by Matthew in Matthew 8,17. The evangelist sees the miracles here as a foreword to Jesus' soteriology, a...
