The biblical view of man and its contribution to the social and pastoral work.
Fausová, Petra ; Heryán, Ladislav (advisor) ; Fischer, Ondřej (referee)
1 Abstract The bachelor's thesis deals with biblical anthropology, i.e. biblical view of man, as it is written down in the Old and New Testaments. It presents the creation of the world, the creation of man and the relationship between man and God. It clarifies the consequences of the original sin. Also, it describes the biblical holistic concept of man and follows up selected terms of biblical anthropology: body, soul, spirit and heart. The terms are explained in the context of the Old and New Testaments. Afterwards, the outlined biblical view of man is summed up into four principles focused on human dignity, the holistic concept of man, human-to-human relationship and human-to-work relationship. Then, there is an attempt to use these principles in concepts of the social and pastoral work. Firstly, both concepts are briefly presented and then the bachelor's thesis follows up potential influences of the biblical anthropology on the theory of the social and pastoral work. Finally, there is an example of the care service provider, specifically a day centre for people with multiple disabilities. The bachelor's thesis describes the practical use of the biblical view of man and its possible contribution to daily work in the day centre.

Man from the Bible perspective and holistic concept of Social work
Apatsidu, Markéta ; Heryán, Ladislav (advisor) ; Jandejsek, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis tries to describe the personality of a man from the perspective of biblical anthropology and the resulting need for a holistic approach of helping professions to clients of all target groups of social work. It is based primarily on Genesis, which focuses on two messages of human creation. It shows how both messages are reflected in the Bible as a whole. The first chapter, in addition to the messages of creation, describes the individual aspects of human being, which are body, soul, spirit and heart. It emphasizes that man is a holistic being according to the Bible. Man is the body, man is the soul, man is the spirit, not that man has got the body, the soul and the spirit. Therefore every man must feed all aspects of his personality, otherwise he suffers. And here is the space for holistic social work. The topic of the contribution of biblical anthropology for social work is discussed in the second chapter of this bachelor thesis. It also wants to show that even to social workers who do not claim any religion can help the Bible to shape their personal spirituality and approach to clients. It also mentions the terms of moral autonomy and conscience as a necessary prerequisite for the ethically proper conduct of a social worker.

Representation of God's Creation in Psalms
Hraba, Jaroslav ; Větrovec, Pavel (advisor) ; Hřebík, Josef (referee)
The bachelor thesis "The image of God's creation in the Psalms" deals with the picture of creation in the Psalms and its theological significance, with a view to describing the creation in the first chapters of the book Genesis. The analytical part contains an exegesis of selected biblical texts from the books Genesis, Psalms and Daniel; the systematic part summarizes the findings. The executed exegesis found that images of creation in the Bible also contain elements of myths of polytheistic cosmogonia. The work to a certain extent shows the intentional use of such elements for the defense of the monotheistic faith and the Hebrew cosmogony. It further develops the symbolic interpretation of some images of creation in Psalms and other biblical books. The result of the work is the presentation of sufficient material from which there is a clear connection between the theology of creation and soteriology. Keywords God, the Lord, the Creator, the Psalms, Genesis, creation, images of creation, cosmogony, polytheistic mythology.

God's Image in Gregory of Nyssa
Marunová, Magdalena ; Karfík, Filip (advisor) ; Bartoň, Josef (referee) ; Dus, Jan (referee)
The aim of this work is to introduce Gregory of Nyssa's doctrine of man as the image of God, based especially on his work Περ κατασκευ ς νθρώπουὶ ῆ ἀ (De hominis opificio). In his work Gregory created quite a systematic anthropological treatise based on Stoic sources, Biblical interpretations inspired by Philo of Alexandria and Origen, as well as on ancient medicine. In contrast to the ancient philosophical school views concerning human being, Gregory refuses the parallel of man as a small world and says that the dignity of man consists not in being similar to the created world, but to the Creator. There are many attributes that constitute human similarity to God, but especially due to the incomprehensibility man is the image of God. The incomprehensibility consists in human mind (νο ςῦ ) in which the human likeness to God can most apparently be recognized. It cannot be placed anywhere in the body and the connection between mind and body is, according to Gregory, unspeakable: the mind does not reside in any particular part of the body, but yet it acts in and is influenced by the whole body. The image of God is the whole mankind, from the first up to the last created human being. When the planned number of souls is completed, the time and everything that happens in time will come to an end. In the...

Kopecká, Pavlína ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee)
This thesis interprets the concept of human being in the work of Maimonides and ibn Rushd, two representatives of major Arab and Jewish medieval philosophy. It combines the ancient Greek philosophical tradition, especially Aristotle, with a religious context. When Maimonides and Ibn Rushd tried to harmonize these two traditions, they had to deal with many opposite views, that stemmed from the difference between religious and ancient world. Behind this intellectual ground have they created the original thesis and approaches to grasping reality, the world and the human being in it. The issue of human being is analyzed in three levels. The first level consists of the relationship between human being and creation, which addresses the question about origin of the world the human soul and the resurrection. The second level, i.e. the man and the world, is devoted to describing a scheme of the world, human knowledge and the theory of prophecy. Ethical and political views are analyzed on the third level, which represents the position of human being in relation to the polis. Keywords Ibn Rushd, Maimonides, Aristotle, Plato, neoplatonism, philosophy, religion, The Koran, Torah, human being, world, creation, eternity, soul, resurrection, emanation, knowledge, illumination, active intellect, prophecy, politics,...
