Theological anthropology in the worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and George Lucas
Michálek, Ondřej ; Outrata, Filip (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee)
In this work I explore the subject of theological motives in the worlds of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien - Middle-earth, Clive Staples Lewis - Narnia and George Lucas - Star Wars. In the world of the Middle-earth, it will be the whole canon, which contains stories from the Middle- earth focusing on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I will use all seven books from the world of Narnia. In George Lucas's world, I'm mainly using the so-called G-canon. If there's a topic that's not covered by this canon, I'll look into the so-called T-canon, or the C-canon. I will compare the different theological questions in the approaches of an author influenced by Anglicism, Catholicism and Methodism with Buddhism. The most important questions for me will be creation, sin, grace, hope, forgiveness and redemption. For each topic, I compare the approaches and compare them to the biblical narrative. The aim of the work is if and howt extent these stories reflect a biblical view of man and of history.

PhDr. Zdeněk Vojtíšek, Ph.D. Předmětem této bakalářské práce jsou teologické vlivy a proudy, které formovaly a ovlivňovaly Církev Křesťanská společenství. Cílem práce je nevyčerpávajícím avšak uceleným způsobem popsat důležité teologické vlivy na tuto církev a objevující se duchovní proudy. A to jak v jejích počátcích, tak v současnosti. Práce představuje určitá teologická stanoviska Církve Křesťanská společenství, její praxi a zároveň její vývoj. Pro kvalitní reflexy teologických vlivů na denominaci práce kombinuje orální historii, hloubkové rozhovory, práci s literaturou primární i sekundární a vlastní pozorování autora. Bakalářská práce je rozdělena do čtyř hlavních částí. V první části jsou popisovány kořeny církve, základní informace a její zařazení se v rámci křesťanstva. Druhá část je zaměřena na teologické vlivy 80. a 90. let, přičemž ruku v ruce jde i historie vzniku církve. Tato část zahrnuje jak obecné představení jednotlivých vlivů, tak jejich konkrétní způsoby, jak ovlivnily tuto denominace. Ve třetí části jsou definována teologická stanoviska Církve Křesťanská společenství, její pevné body víry a církevní praxe, která je víceméně již ustálená. Dále život...

The Scripture and Hermeneutical Solutions for its Interpretation in Various Christian Traditions
Holeka, Matouš ; Noble, Ivana (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee) ; Hábl, Jan (referee)
Matouš Holeka's dissertation examines various interpretation methods of the Scriptures by theologians in the Roman-Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions. These interpretation methods can be most clearly identified in the relationship between the Scriptures and tradition, in historical-critical methodology, and in political-cultural readings of the biblical texts. In this dissertation, these themes are shown as representing different ways of common critical reading of the sacred texts. As well as the historical-critical approach, there are also pre-critical and ideological readings. The dissertation starts by looking at this diversity in documents of the World Council of Churches. It shows that the differences in understanding the Scriptures are no longer connected primarily to the specific views of the respective traditions, but rather that similarities or differences in readings across churches. Christians within these traditions refer to their own sources: in the case of the Roman-Catholics to Church documents, in the case of the Orthodox to the Church Fathers and as far as Protestants are concerned, to the Confessions. However, their reception in each of these traditions only confirms the diversity of readings. This is also true for the theological interpretation of the Scriptures, which...

The Importance and Influence of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Non-religious Interpretation and Concepts of Adult Man on Czech Postwar Christian Theology, Ecclesiology, and Expansion
Janovský, Marek ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hájek, Matěj (referee)
The Meaning and Impact of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Concept of "an adult person"and "a non-religious interpretation" on Czech Post-War Christian Theology, Ecclesiology and a Christian Preaching. In this diploma thesis I deal with a debate held in religious studies in the Czech region on a meaning and impact of Dietrich Bomhoeffer's concepts of "an adult person" and "a non-religious interpetation". For a deeper understanding of concepts itself the thesis presents context of Bonhoeffer's life and work. This part discusses what he intended to say by using his concepts although he wasn't able to finishe them. The aim of my thesis is to answer two religious studies questions related to Dietrich Bonhoeffer'concepts with respect to Czech region only. The first query is: Became a human being in a religious field mature (Is he grown up of religion)? A situation of Czech society provides unique conditions of secularisation for a verification of Bonhoeffer's theses. To prove them I will examine only Czech sociologists, religious scientists and psychologists of religion. I will examine the second research problem (What does Bonhoeffer's claim for non-religious interpretations mean for Czech Christian religious tradition?) within the writings of Chech non-catholic theologians. Their own contributions to...

Buddhism in Jewish Religious Texts 18th - 21st Century
Weiss, Aleš ; Halík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hošek, Pavel (referee) ; Lyčka, Milan (referee)
This dissertation analyzes Jewish religious views of Buddhism in a broad historical perspective, from the end of 18th century down to the present. Through an analysis of Jewish religious texts, it shows the ways Buddhism has been contextualized and tries to uncover Buddhism's role in modern Judaism. From these texts Buddhism emerges as 1) a tool of polemics and self-definition, 2) a form of spirituality fully compatible with Judaism, and 3) a competitor of Judaism, endangering its social and ideological integrity. While Jewish religious views of Christianity and Islam have been dealt with extensively in the academic literature, the role of Buddhism in various forms of modern Judaism has been either completely overlooked or at best reduced to the JUBU phenomenon. This dissertation aims to help fill this gap.

Secularisation. Comparision of Czech and French case
Lukášová, Irena ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Hájek, Matěj (referee)
This thesis Secularisation: Comparison of Czech and French Case deals with the phenomenon of secularisation in the area of modern European societies. Presenting approaches of different sociologists of religion it acquaints with historical conditions of secularisation, explains the secularisation thesis and its actual validity. Then it focuses on secularisation in the Czech Republic and in France. In the case of the Czech Republic it mostly deals with aspects of the Czech religiosity. It examines its probable historical causes and presents its actual manifestations. First of all it emphasizes the mistrust of the Czech society of the institutionalized religiosity, the popularity of the alternative religiosity, explains the concept of the "Czech atheism" and shows several particular characteristics of the religious behaviour of the Czech people. In the case of France it describes the way to the unique form of secularity born in the French milieu so called laïcité on the basis of a complicated historical process. It describes its gradual assertion, its actual form and its confrontation with the current development of the society. It also tries to compare both above mentioned cases, searches their common aspects as well as their completely unique elements in order to widely describe different forms of...
