Ethical values in the Old and New Testament
Proroková, Marie ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Hauser, Michael (referee)
The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on the ethical values in the Old and New Testament. At the beginning basic concepts are defined, that are essential for the thesis and are related to ethics and moral evaluation. The first part centres on the important events that shaped society and that come from The Bible (Creation, The Ten Commandments, God's contracts with the nation of Israel, the life of Jesus Christ, the parables, The Sermon on the Mount and The Lord's Prayer). The thesis also compares these values with the philosophy of Socrates and then with the approach, that Jan Amos Comenius offered in his work. The second part analyzes views of Christian ethical values today : whether there is a need to know these values, why we should strive for their observance, whether they are current and whether people (Christians and atheists ) honor and follow them. On the basis of the second section I conclude, that our culture is formed under the strong influence of Christianity, these values are still held and are considered important for the functioning of human relationships and society. Although it may seem that these values are not held today, they are still an ideal within our culture and people are trying to achieve them in their lifes.

Augustine's work De sermone domini in monte and the patristic exegesis Sermon on the mount and the plain
Kaška, Pavel ; Brož, Jaroslav (referee)
This rigorous work is the thesis of a future dissertation work, which deals with the work De sermone domini in monte of St. Augustine and other surviving patristic texts dealing with the Sermon on the Mount or the Sermon on the Plain or parts thereof. It seeks to compare different perspectives on these key sections of gospels. Since Augustine's work is the only one devoted entirely to the Sermon on the Mount, it tries to show its uniqueness and its inclusion in Augustine's work. This rigorous work summarizes the goals, methods and specifications that will lead to the dissertation. It also outlines the syllabus of future dissertation work and some results and elaboration that has already taken place, and presents secondary literature and sources on the topic.

The function of the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount
Janovská, Kristýna ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Pavlík, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis called "The function of the antitheses in the Sermon on the Mount" deals with the analysis of the six Jesus' antitheses, which are part of the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. The aim of this thesis was to analyze these antitheses in the context of creating the context of the Jewish Christian community which, after 70 AD, was in a certain existential crisis. Evangelist Matthew was probably a Christian from the Jews rather than the Gentiles, which led to his effort to display on Jesus as a Jew a relationship to the Law that does not change and is still up to date. Each antithesis is initiated by reference to the Old Testament commandments or provisions, followed by the interpretation of Jesus, which confirms his authority to the God called the Messiah, who will bring the people out of the slavery of sin. Jesus is the new Moses who puts the provisions of the Old Testament or the commandment into the light of greater justice. My principles for analyzing these opposites were the use of methods and knowledge of modern research along with the narrative method. My endeavor was to show Jesus as the one who respects the Law and fulfills what has been said by the prophets.

Ducháč, Jakub ; Bravená, Noemi (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
Diploma thesis "Social-Ethical Aspects of the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount" reflects on chapters 5 - 7 of Mathew 's Gospel. It is based on the Greek translation of the Gospel and aims to express the supertemporal prehension of Jesus' ethical requirements by a man of any century, meaning by a man of our current days too. The paper verges on biblical studies and practical and spiritual theology. Diploma thesis focuses on relation between Jesus' requirements and ancient Hebrew ethical and social norms described in Torah and updated in Old Testament Prophets' scriptures. This paper shows their cohesion but emphasizes the Jesus original approach which reveals a deeper meaning of all Torah ethical norms and rules. Following the chapters of Sermon on the Mount , it is described how St. Matthew uses this intention . Social and ethical aspects of this text are highlighted and covered by many Old Testament citations which are related to the background of Jesus' Teachings. This paper also describes basic approaches to the Sermon on the Mount interpretation and shows the reader the direction. But no final conclusion of this topic can be made as we have been dealing with the secret.
