The Eucharist in the Gospel of John
POLÁČEK, Martin
The presented work deals with the conception of the Eucharist in the Gospel of John. The first chapter is dedicated to terms of the Eucharist, the Last Supper and the Lord{\crq}s Supper and also to the existing division of possible approaches to the sacramentality in the Gospel of John. In the subsequent chapters it deals in detail with five places of the Gospel of John, that are mostly mentioned in connection with the Eucharist. It is the wedding at Cana (2,1-11), the eucharistic section (6,51-58), washing of the feet of disciples (13,1-20), the Vine and the Branches (15,1-17), opening of the side of Jesus (19,34). The work tries to solve the topic (question) in the context as wide as possible including the question of the johannine sources of inspiration. In this way it can be seen the mutual correspondence of these varios places and the deep theological conception of the hole Gospel. The replacement of the institution of the Eucharist in the thirteenth chapter with the washing of the feet and it{\crq}s displacement to {\clqq}the bread of life discourse`` in the sixth chapter is due to the proper evangelist{\crq}s intention. There was an impending danger, that the Eucharist became a magical medicine without any relation to the incarnation and the sacrifitial death of Jesus. These facts have theirs own consequences for the life of the christian community. So the subject of the sacraments has been subordinated to the christological accent.

"Don t be Afraid!" - in the Work of John Paul II.
VALASOVÁ, Eva
My work deals with John Paul´s II.message of today´s world. He appealed to the words of our Messiah Jesus Christ Don´t be afraid.`` It brings the message and the Holy Fater wrote about it up to present days. These messages are still the actual appeal for our faith. During the centuries the question of human fear, anxiety and pain is still current. It refers to a source of human fear, which it comes from, how the Holy Father comprehended. It also refers to a question of human fear from the historical, biblical and psychological aspect. My work is identified with hope which the Holy Fater wrote about. This hope means to accept enjoyable message of the Gospel and to live completely loyally with Jesus Christ. The objektive of my work is to realize, what was John Paul´s appeal: Remember that you are loved by God.`` You are loved and redeemed by Jesus Chris´t s blood to a true freedom. Sincle only the true love overcomes the fear.

John's Gospel and History
Plíšek, Jonáš ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Pokorný, Petr (referee)
THE PURPOSE OF MY THESIS IS TO EXPLORE HOW MUCH THE JOHN'S GOSPEL - NAMELY THE JESUS PRESENTED BY IT - IS HISTORICALLY RELIABLE ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT SCHOLARSHIP. METHODICALLY, I BASE MY INQUIRY ON COMPARISON WITH THE SYNOPTICS, ON CONFRONTATION WITH THE COMMENTARIES AND SELECTED RELEVANT SCHOLARLY STUDIES. I SEEK TO DEMONSTRATE THAT - CONCERNING THE QUESTION OF HISTORICAL RELIABILITY - JOHN'S GOSPEL IS IN A BETTER POSITION THAN MANY MIGHT THINK. OF COURSE, NOT THE GOSPEL AS A WHOLE. BUT DETAILS SPREAD ALL THROUGH THE GOSPEL SEEMINGLY UNIMPORTANT AT THE FIRST SIGHT POINT OUT TO A SURPRISINGLY PRECISE EVANGELIST'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPOGRAPHICAL AND SOCIAL DETAILS OF JERUSALEM BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SECOND TEMPLE. THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS OF THE PAPER ARE CONCERNED WITH THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS QUESTION, FROM THE FIRST CENTURIES UNTIL TODAY, AND WITH THE HERMENEUTICAL DIFFICULTIES NECESSARILY ACCOMPANYING SUCH A TASK. THE THIRD CHAPTER IS THEN DEDICATED TO THE EXEGESIS OF SELECTED PASSAGES OF JOHN'S GOSPEL - MOSTLY FROM THE PASSION NARRATIVE-, WHERE I SEARCH FOR THE HIDDEN HISTORY.
