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 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.

Ethical Aspects of the Gospel of Luke
Heinrichová, Marie ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
This diploma thesis is concerning the ethical aspect of Saint Luke's Gospel. The focus is on Jesus, who is shown as an example of ethical life and the basis of his moral teaching. These teachings are penance, correct property usage, loving fellowman, disciples, prayer and reversing the fate in connection to the welfare of poor people. This thesis also looks at God's kingdom and the ethical ramification which it yields. The moral teaching of Jesus is the subject matter of Evangelism and therefore Luke shows Jesus as a preacher on a Great Journey. The second part of this work is dedicated to the analysis of The Sermon on the Plain and parables about the Good Samaritan which graphically illustrate moral command and its practical application in life. The selected texts have been analyzed in the framework of individual versus in relationship to the whole teaching in which they are placed (in context to the whole work). This diploma thesis is based upon descriptive methods and analysis of text.

An attempt to evaluate the beatitudes of Jesus in terms of Christian ethics. Mt 5,3-12
Hlavnička, Miroslav ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Mašek, Vojtěch (referee)
This thesis deals with the interpretation of the text of the Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew. It is an attempt to evaluate the reference text in terms of Christian ethics. It poses the question of the presence of morally relevant content, ethical implications, in Jesus' Beatitudes. In an effort to understand the text it first discusses the proper handling of the Biblical text and hermeneutics as an effort to understand the text. With the standardized explanatory commentary the exegesis of the reference text Mt 5,3-12 is made. Based on the evaluation of the interpretations the thesis is determined. But the work does not finish with the exegesis of the text, but attempts to move towards the theological ethics. It identifies the Beatitudes as particularly emphasized attitudes. Christological interpretation of the Beatitudes as a portrait of Jesus is attached in the last chapter.

The Moral Relevance of Jesus' beatitude: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Mt 5,6)
Menclová, Martina ; Lorman, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the ethically relevant contents of Jesus' Beatitudes: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Mt 5, 6). At the beginning we find the exegesis of the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5-7) and the clarification of the term of righteousness as it was taught by Jesus. Apart from the biblical righteousness we also look at the philosophical righteousness the way Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas understood it. This is to see if the antic idea of the righteousness differs from the righteousness taught by Jesus. Christ as the moral example of the Christians fully fulfilled the blessedness mentioned. That is why the following part of the thesis focuses on Jesus as the provider of righteousness and so called ethics of following. The final part of this work is dedicated to the application of the normative requirements arising from this beatitude in the present times, i.e. how a Christian should hunger and thirst for righteousness in everyday life.
