The Creation of Human Beings Their Destiny and Task
Kocichová, Anna ; Melmuk, Petr (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
The main aim of this work was to make acquainted the reader with the creation of man, as we can read it in the first two chapters of the Bible. "The stories of creation", which I was interested in, we can exactly find in the boo k of Genesis: Gn I, 26-31; Gn 2, 4-9; Gn 2, 18-25. I specialized in the Christian look at the creation of man, but I was also trying to find some contexts and similarities with the Jewish tradition, the Old Oriental tradition, as well as with the various opinions of famous personalities. This work has just theoretical character.

Bémová, Jitka ; Melmuk, Petr (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis "Megiddo in the Old Testament and in the light of contemporary archaeology" deals with a history of Megiddo from the earliest settlement as far as the Assyrian supremacy in the 8th century B.C.E. The archaeological research of the city was set in a contrast with biblical accounts. Introductory part of the thesis is engaged in the Land of Canaan in which Megido was situated and whose geographical and climatic conditions had effect on later formation of Megiddo city-state. The core of the text is comprised of descriptions of single development phases from the Canaanite to the Israelite city with an emphasis on a relationship between Egypt and Megiddo. The last part of the thesis is engaged in the most famous buildings in Megiddo, their precise dating and to whom the buildings should be attributed. The end of the thesis gives a short outline of the fall of the Northern Kingdom and of a subsequent Assyrian rule. Megiddo is presented as the capital of an Assyrian province. There is a biblical description of the royal city taken into the account in a contrast with the latest archaeological knowledge in a whole text. The aim of my thesis has been to compare biblical mentions of Megiddo with conclusions deduced from the archaeological excavations.

Exorcism in the Synoptic Gospels
Lupačová, Viktorie ; Melmuk, Petr (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
This work studies the understanding of Jesus' exorcisms in synoptic gospels. On an example of some of the Jesus' authentic statements is shown the Jesus' understanding of his own exorcist activity as the eschatological and soteriological event. In his concept the exorcisms are the manifestation of God's kingdom which is happening in his arrival and his actions. At the time the Jesus' exorcisms have the power to free a man both physically and spiritually. By analyzing individual pericopes of synoptic gospels is illustrated the reception drift of exorcisms which has happened to three authors of synoptic gospels. These have transferred the accent from eschatological and soteriological background of exorcisms to its mission meaning for the early Christian community.

Song of songs, translation and interpretation
Folajtárová, Iva ; Beneš, Jiří (advisor) ; Melmuk, Petr (referee)
The main point of this diploma thesis is my own translation and interpretation of the Song of Songs. My interpretation is close to a naturalistic one and I perceive it to be a love poem. However, I feel that the poem transcends the erotic level, just as each relationship is more than simply the two individuals participating in it. Therefore, I am trying to integrate both the naturalistic as well as the allegoric viewpoints into one whole.

It is not aim of this work to give an whole view of relation between the God and Israel, rather there are points of view of this relation, in the frame of it's development during the history, as possible in the extent of this work.
