A personal encounter with Jesus opens the way to inner transformation: Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1-42)
Štěpán, Michael ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
In this Diploma Thesis, I am trying to personally grasp the pericope of the Gospel of John describing the meeting of Jesus with a woman of Samar′ia. Within the stated methodological procedures, the intention was to point out to the infinite source of inspiration in Scriptura sacra, in other contexts as well. An individual approach towards the specific text is also important. In the introduction, the historical environment of this story's origin from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John is mentioned, within the perspective of social, national and cultural phenomena. The authentic development of the meeting itself is gradually monitored. Jesus' answer is loving and at the same time, uncovers personal depths. There are a lot of dialogue levels that gradually go to the transformation of the addressed woman of Samar′ia. Working with this biblical text is primarily focused on the topics that are practically considered when investigating the connections of a specific person in the specific life situation and God as Jesus Christ.
