Jews and the State of Izrael in the Theology of the American Evangelikalism
Kovaříková, Hana ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Beneš, Jiří (referee)
My diploma thesis on the topic of Jews and the State of Israel in the theology of American evangelicalism describes the role of the people of Israel in the history of salvation as revealed and developed by evangelicals in Europe (mainly England) and then mainly in the USA following the early church, pietists and puritans. Based on this theology, God did not finish with the Jews, the church did not replace the Jews in the role of God's Chosen People, as it spread and still spreads the so-called replacement theology, but on the contrary, evangelicals understood the irreplaceable role of the Jews in God's plan of salvation. They sow the opinion that for the second coming of Jesus Christ on earth, this time in the role of judge, general and king, in contrast to His first coming, which was a sign of the redemption of humanity from sin, it is a necessary condition that the Jews, the people of Israel, are be back in The Promised Land. From the first initiative, which came from the pietists (16th century), to the founding of the State of Israel (5/14/1948), plus minus five hundred years of work have passed. Evangelicals contributed in no small measure to the creation of the State of Israel. Another significant consequence of the evangelicals' recognition that the Jews remain God's Chosen People is the...

DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM TEMPLE(TREATING OF THE SUBJECT IN CLASSICAL JEWISH TEXTS)
Razák, Věra ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Holubová, Markéta (referee) ; Šafin, Ján (referee)
Destruction of Jerusalem Temple (Treating the Subject in Classic Jewish Texts) Věra Razáková This thesis focuses mainly on texts describing the Temple's very destruction, be it by the Babylonian army in 587 BC or later on by the Roman army in 70 CE. In addition, it also inspects circumstances of the conquer and the destruction of the Temple and the city of Jerusalem immediately preceded. The examined texts are (with some exceptions) the texts of classical rabbinic literature of antiquity. Although there is no doubt about how crucial the event (i. e. the demise of the Temple and the Temple Cult in Judaism) was, its image in the literature is not a massive one. Also, there are mostly individual references on a smaller scale. This is especially true of examining the causes of the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. Other mentions in halachic texts are similarly sketchy. Dealing with the changes forced by the extinction of the Temple, the central Temple cult, and Temple sacrificial worship. The main texts of this group are Mishna and Tosefta. The Gemara of the Babylonian (and also Jerusalem) Talmud, and in particular, some selected Midrashim are a much richer source for the subject under scrutiny. Working with Haggadic texts has brought more consistent descriptions of the destruction of the Temple...

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CHANGES INCHRISTIAN COMMUNICATION IN INDEPENDENTKAZAKHSTAN
Slováková, Viktorie ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Šafin, Ján (referee) ; Nosek, Bedřich (referee)
153 ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation conducted research on religious education and social change in Christian communication using the example of transnational and multi-faith countries, in particular Kazakhstan. The work used basic principles and methods to present the historical and cultural state of contemporary Kazakhstan and its religious sphere of life. The relevance of the problem is connected primarily with the historical and social changes that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the Republic of Kazakhstan achieved independence and assumed the role of a democratic and secular state. In this context, it is important to pay attention to the role of Christian religion in these changes. Every state faces problems that require active participation in solving them. In Kazakhstan, an important issue is the regulation of religious organisations. One of the key points is the importance of religious education in the formation of new social relations and the maintenance of democratic values. New forms of Christian communication are emerging and are being adapted to modern society. However, it should be taken into account that in the religious sphere there are also problems related to the rejection by some groups of society of certain religious beliefs, as well as problems of extremism and...

"Whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my hase to meet me." Jephthah and His Vow in the Jewish and Christian Interpretations
Baudiš, Adam ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Šedinová, Jiřina (referee) ; Prudký, Martin (referee)
"Whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me." Jephthah and His Vow in the Jewish and Christian Interpretations Mgr. Adam Baudiš Abstract Main theme of this thesis is the story of Jephthah from Judg 10:6-12:7 and its interpretations. Thesis is divided into four main parts. The first part deals with the story of Jephthah in the Bible and mainly from the perspective of biblical theology. The second chapter is focused on research of the rabbinic literature perspective and the third chapter puts the whole story into the contexts of Near East and other texts of Tanakh dealing with human sacrifice. The final chapter focuses on the biblical commentaries and their interpretation approaches. The main differences in the approach of Judaism and Christianity in this case are mainly the evaluation of Jephthah as a character, focus of the commentaries and general results of the commentatries. On the contrary, they mostly agree on the tendency to interpret the story as a sacrifice. These differences are based primarily in the different focuses of these two religions and their approach to the biblical text.

The Theme of Death in Middle Eastern Literary Sources
Ryšavá, Erika ; Nosek, Bedřich (advisor) ; Holubová, Markéta (referee)
This work has led us to the Middle East in the period, when the ideas that later influenced whole European culture, were formed. One of the goals was to show us the situation the Old Testament was formed in. The other goal was to prove the level of influence caused to it by I was interested in a problem of Nation in need of its own identity that was necessary for it to survive. Later canonised thesis, medieval society adored, were just consequences of this process. Different ways in burying corpses, differences in acceptance of either death and life, various imaginations of after-life and evaluation of life on the other side. Other important cultic matter beside the death was taken into account. Not only because of better understanding of that period. Also for an understanding of hu man life in social structure. Clear explanation of how 'Israel' had fought to maintain its own dedication, such different from the rest of the world. On the other hand I admit that I was not successful in transition this theme to the present time.
