Guilt, Purification, Forgiveness
Slezáková, Veronika ; Keřkovský, Pavel (advisor) ; Halama, Jindřich (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the conceptions of Guilt, Purification and Forgiveness. Based on the study of the writings of Karl Jaspers, Božena Komárková, Martin Buber and Helmut Weber, the thesis comes to an understanding of the issues of guilt, forgiveness and purification in both philosophical and theological terms. Furthermore, this work introduces other issues that relate to the chosen topic, for example, the concepts of Repentance, Penance and Conversion. Thanks to the acquired findings, I want to come to an understanding of the concept of guilt in Bernhard Schlink's novel The Reader. This thesis is concerned with Schlink's comprehension of guilt as well as with the foundation for reconciliation with guilt that Schlink outlines. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Atonement and redemption in the novel Crime and Punishment with reference to Biblical texts
Kuthan, Robert ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Drozenová, Wendy (referee)
Annotation: This thesis is an attempt for a religous interpretation of Dostoeyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. The thesis attempts to interpret the novel from the perspective of redemption and atonement. It is not our aim to focus on seperate aspects of the novel. Rather, we wish to provide a complete interpretation of the novel through the religious theme of redemption. By means of Bachtin's method of 'grotesque realism' we observe the development of religous themes in the novel from the perspective of their carnivalisation. We observe the development of the resurrection theme in the novel and find this theme supported by various forms of symbolism of life and death in the novel. This thesis considers Lazarus's story in John 11 as central to the meaning of the novel and focuses on literary elaboration of this evangelical text within the novel.

Christian motives in poetics of a novel Resurrection from Leo Tolstoy
Bojková, Larysa ; Vasilyeva, Elena (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Antonín (referee)
Resumé Tématem bakalářské práce jsou Křesťanské motivy v poetice románu Lva Nikolajeviče Tolstého Vzkříšení. Cílem práce bylo sledovat přístup autora ke křesťanskému učení v románu. První část práce nastínila historii pravoslavné církve v Rusku, její dogmata a tradice. Dále se zabývá Tolstého pojetím křesťanského učení a z něj vyplývající ideu nenásilí a neprotivení se zlu zlem. Další část práce se věnovala románu Vzkříšení. Zjišťovala, jak jsou hlavní ideová východiska v románu vyjádřena. Analýza textu ukázala autorův negativní pohled na soudní systém. Práce vystihla body, ve kterých Lev Nikolajevič Tolstoj vidí jeho nemorálnost a neefektivnost. Z analýzy vychází, že má soudní systém rozsáhlé negativní účinky na soudce, advokáty i všechny ostatní účastníky soudních řízení a osob součinných při výkonu trestů. Zákon podle Tolstého není schopen spravedlivě potrestat zločince. Život odsouzených v nápravných zařízeních zcela znemožňuje nápravu. Rozřešení tohoto morálního a sociálního problému vycházející z Matoušova evangelia bylo zjištěno v závěru románu. Dalším cílem práce byla analýza vývoje hlavních postav. U Maslovové i Něchljudova byl zjištěn dobrý duchovní stav do společně strávené noci. Poté lze u Maslovové pozorovat prudký obrat k nemorálnímu způsobu života. V Něchljudově případě měla zvláště...

Lokvencová, Iva ; Mrázek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dus, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on the analysis of John the Baptist by using exegetical methods in the context of the gospel of Matthew. The thesis begins with a short introduction of the gospel of Matthew and the background of the analyzed texts Mt 3,1-12 (which deals with the activities of John the Baptist, the controversy between him and the Sadducees and Pharisees, and John's warning against the Last Judgment) and Mt 11,1-19 (which describes doubts concerning Jesus' mission, Jesus' confirmation of John's part, and the rejection of John's and Jesus' proclamations by the Jewish party). This part briefly summarizes the interpreted texts as well as the description, division, and broader framework of their background or parallel comparison of the synoptics. A translation of the verses from Greek to Czech follows which is accompanied by annotations, interesting facts, references to the peculiarities that arise from the translation, or differences among the Czech and other foreign translations of the Bible. Then comes the exegesis of the individual verses supplemented by findings acquired through research, followed by a summary of the chapter. The central source of information for this thesis is predominantly the biblical text itself, supplemented by information found in several commentaries, articles, monographs,...
