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.

Dosoudil, Jiří ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Větrovec, Pavel (referee)
The thesis analyzes the "Kingdom of God" concept and integrates it into context of the Old and New Testaments, especially into Jesus' public teaching and ministry. Prior to theological analysis in the first chapter, sources are examined by textual criticism method: introduces traditions of particular scriptural and apocrypha sources, their authorship, cultural and linguistic implications and presents observations about their historicity. The second chapter analyzes the presence of topic in the Synoptic Gospels. It evaluates their specifics, the overall conception and usage of the term. In the third chapter, the "Kingdom of God" concept is incorporated in whole of the Jesus' teaching. The second part of the third chapter analyses the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord's prayer, and some of the Jesus' parables. The final fourth chapter presents some basic interpretative planes of the "Kingdom of God" concept in the history of Christian thought.
