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.

The Jesus' Beatitudes in the Context of the Gospel of Matthew
Ondruš, Jiří ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
Bc. Ji í Ondruš The Jesus' Beatitudes in the Context of the Gospel of Matthew Anotace v anglickém jazyce: The Jesus' Beatitudes cannot be understood as a completely isolated part of Jesus' teaching. Therefore, the knowledge of the whole gospel of Matthew is necessary for their understanding. In this thesis I compare the individual words contained in the Beatitudes with the same words in the Gospel of Matthew outside the Beatitudes. By this means I find the meaning of Jesus' message in the Beatitudes contained in the Gospel of Matthew. I also present and compare ancient Greek copies (the Sinai Code and the Vatican Code) and six most famous Czech translations of this Gospel. I also compare the exegesis of well-known biblical scholars, especially what they agree on, but also what they fundamentally differ on. An important part is also a synoptic comparison with the Beatitudes of the evangelist Luke. The aim of this thesis is to get as close as possible to the meaning of the specific section of Mt 5: 1-12, which represents the lifelong program of Jesus' followers, but also Jesus. Jesus introduces himself at the beginning of the mountain sermon. He speaks not only of how his disciples are supposed to be, but also of how he is.

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.
