Dušek, Filip ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
MARRIAGE AND CELIBACY IN CHRIST ACCORDING TO 1 CORINTHIANS 7. The aim of this thesis is to show the light which in Jesus Christ newly illuminated two forms of human life: the married life and the celibacy.

A special emphasis is put on the seventh chapter of the First Letter to the Corinthians. By putting the message of this chapter about marriage and celibacy into the context of the whole Scripture and tradition of the Church, the thesis pursues another goal - i. e. a Catholic interpretation of the words of the Apostle.

The second aim of this thesis is to find a conciliatory interpretation of the words of the Apostle even for the married couples, so that the maximalism of the Christian endeavour for sanctity is preserved. To reach the aforementioned goal the...
