God's Unity and God's Relational Character in the Thinking and Biblical Interpretation of Philo Judaeus
LANDOVÁ, Barbora
The thesis analyzes how the Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria deals with passages in the Bible where God experiences any kind of human emotions. It aims to present the two sides of Philo's persona - the Greek and the Jewish. These two worlds (the world of philosophy and that of the Bible) are constituent for Philo's thinking, however, they also provide a distinct rendering of God. The aim is to ascertain how Philo deals with passages in the Bible where God seems to have a changeable character while holding a strong philosophical concept of him. The thesis adheres to the hypothesis that his depiction of God is bound to the literary genre he applies when rendering God. It takes into consideration Philo's Quod Deus sit Immutabilis, Quaestiones et Solutiones in Genesin et Exodum and De Vita Mosis while differentiating between their distinct literary genres.

Pospíšilová, Petra ; Vymětalová Hrabáková, Eva (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis "The Shepherd as the Anthropomorphism of God" is to clarify the role of the shepherd in antiquity and today and to present this knowledge in the use of the shepherd's anthropomorphism in biblical texts by means of literary research and comparison of texts, exegesis and reflection of own experience. In the introductory chapters we focus on the person of the shepherd, his characteristics, where special attention is paid to the shepherd's staff, as it also has an abundant biblical metaphorical use. The role of the shepherd in antiquity, in biblical texts and today is also discussed. Attention is also paid to the metaphor of the shepherd in ancient mythology, the use of this metaphor in various religious cults and its content. From a similar point of view, grazing animals are viewed, especially sheep, and special attention is paid to the role of the lamb in biblical texts. But we also talk about pigs and goats as pastoral animals. The following chapters first deal with anthropomorphisms in general, followed by chapters from specific biblical books where anthropomorphism is used. The texts are divided according to their inclusion in the Bible - first, Tanach texts are discussed, where the most common occurrence of anthropomorphisms is in the prophetic books. The next...

Vágnerová, Kristýna ; Trnka, Radek (advisor) ; Karadžos, Alexis (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to answer the question how differ the attitudes of zoologists and general public on suitability of various mammals kept in zoos.

Questionnaire with a scale enumeration concerning the assessment of the suitability of selected groups of mammals for breeding in zoos was used as the main data collection instrument. Results of the survey showed that experts evaluated the suitability of mamals for breeding in zoo more positive than laymens in general. According general public were equines and rodents rated as relatively unsuitable for breeding in zoos in comparison with expert evaluation. Elephant, orangutan, platypus, tiger, bear and cheetah were rated as relatively suitable for breeding in zoos by general public against expert evaluation. The possible interpretation might be that these mammals belong to the most popular and therefore respondents want to experience personal contact with them.
