The Eschatological Meaning of Jesus' Resurrection (PhD dissertation) Jiří Dosoudil Abstract: The dissertation examines the biblical concept of the resurrection of Jesus. In particular biblical texts, it examines its meaning and how it relates to the last things of man, the world and its history. It traces where the resurrection of Jesus is mentioned in the New Testament and subjects the prominent passages to detailed exegetical analysis. To be able to read the biblical discourse on the resurrection in the appropriate cultural-religious context, it also provides an overview beforehand of how it is anchored in Old Testament ideas about human post-mortem existence and the life-giving power of God. Related but distinct ideas of contemporary paganism are also explored. The work points out significant or recurring moments in the texts it interprets.

Human being by Ibn Rushd and Maimonides
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,...

The Plays of Christ's Martyrdom and Resurrection in the History of Czech Drama
SKÁLOVÁ, Dana
In my diploma thesis called The Plays of Christ's Martyrdom and Resurrection in the History of Czech Drama, I deal with the analysis and comparison of selected dramas about Christ's Martyrdom and Resurrection from the Middle Ages and humanism till the Baroque period. The texts are incorporated into the context of the literature of the respective period. Typical features of drama in particular developmental stages are discussed. The thesis mainly deals with the prosopography of supporting characters and their fit into specific time and place, the development of particular motives and the degree of dependence on gospel texts. The analysis is particularly based on following plays Hra o Kristovu zmrtvýchvstání i o jeho oslavení, Komedie aneb Hra kratičká written by Šimon Lomnický z Budče, Hra o nanebevstoupení Páně and Komedie o umučení Pána a Spasitele našeho Ježíše Krista.

The Motif of Vampire in Czech Literature
RICHTROVÁ, Tereza
The thesis focuses on the presence of the motif of vampire in Czech literature from the end of the 19th century to the end of the first half of the 20th century. The motif is formed by a set of vampire attributes and the aim of the thesis is to observe changes of its image depending on its application and function in particular pieces of work. The observation comes from mythological and traditional conceptions of the vampire character which defined the image of the creature. The attention is also focused on the period trends influencing literature in general and on the application of the motif in foreign literature. The thesis marginally refers to its presentation in the visual arts.
