John 4:4-42. Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
Kočica, Pavel ; Ryšková, Mireia (advisor) ; Scarano, Angelo (referee)
This thesis J 4,4-42: Jesus and the Samaritan woman deals with an exegesis of the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman as well as with a deeper theological interpretation of themes from this conversation: living water and worshipping of God in Spirit and truth. At first, a langugage analysis is performed, because an exegesis of the text is based on it. The exegesis emphasises a place of the pericope in a context of John's gospel, stylistic specialities of John as well as a graduality in a knowledge of Jesus's truth identity from a perspective of the woman and Samaritan people from the town. It is pointed out that living water can be thought as all that Jesus gives to people here on earth for their redemption. Worshipping in Spirit and truth is interpreted as a relation of a man to God that is given by a personal presence of God in a human heart thanks to a faith in Jesus. Futhermore, the thesis is concerned with a description of Samaritan history from a biblical point of view as well as from a perspective of Samaritans themselves and with basic articles of the Samaritan religion that appear in the text (Mt. Gerizim, person of Taheb). What is also considered is a relevancy of the pericope nowadays from point of view of a man who is calling by God. Consequently, the text is given into a...

Johannine christianity as a term lacking analytical potential
Vytlačilová, Magdalena ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
Cílem textu je popřít existenci tzv. janovského proudu křesťanství, popř. janovské komunity v 1. a 2. století, a ukázat, že tento termín je zavádějící a nemá analytický potenciál pro studium raného křesťanství. V první části se zabývám způsoby konstrukcí janovského křesťanství (dvou-úrovňové čtení, aplikace sociolingvistických teorií) a argumenty, které badatelé používají k doložení jeho existence (plurál v evangeliu, postava milovaného učedníka, dvacátá první kapitola evangelia, předpoklad rozdílného autorství Janových listů a čtvrtého evangelia, recepce Janova korpusu). Ve druhé části textu nabízím vlastní metodiku zkoumání společenských formací raného křesťanství, kterou aplikuji na čtvrté evangelium a Janovy listy. Argumentuji, že kdyby nějaká janovská komunita skutečně existovala a odvozovala svou nauku a praxi z těchto pramenů, nelišila by se od většinového křesťanství, a termín "janovské křesťanství" tak postrádá analytický potenciál. Hlavním argumentem textu je, že nelze z literárních a stylistických aspektů Janova korpusu odvozovat existenci distinktivního náboženského směru.

Johannine christianity as a term lacking analytical potential
Vytlačilová, Magdalena ; Gebelt, Jiří (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
In recent decades, most scholars have understood the Gospel of John and three letters of John as a mirror to the so-called "Johannine community"/"Johannine Christianity", whose existence is usually derived from literary and compositional aspects of Johannine corpus. In the following study I am arguing that in order for the term Johannine Christianity to be relevant and meaningful for the study of early Christianity and New Testament literature, we cannot focus on literary aspects of Johannine corpus but on a comparative work and define the term through the internal structure of religion. To be a historically relevant term, the term Johannine Christianity, therefore has to bear, in the context of the New Testament and early Christianity, distinctive doctrine, ritual practices, and institution. In the first part of this paper, I am dealing with literary and stylistic aspects of the Johannine corpus (authorship of gospel and letters, genre and 21st chapter of John's gospel, the beloved disciple, etc.) and arguing that these aspects are not a definite proof of the existence of so- called Johannine community. In the second part, I am arguing that theology, ritual practices, and institutions we find in Johannine corpus, are typical for mainstream Christianity of 1. and 2. century and therefore terms "Johannine...

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" Freedom in the gospel of John
Černá, Zdeňka Klára ; Roskovec, Jan (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of the concept of freedom in the Gospel of John and the relationship between freedom and truth. The first part of this thesis is focused on the research of concepts of freedom and truth from the Old Testament to the New Testament, it is a description of historical background in which both terms were formed and transformed. This thesis also includes a detailed exegesis of the text of J 8.31-36, which served as the starting point. Due the fact that notion of freedom is most often found in the New Testament in the Gospel of John and Paul's Epistles, I insert a chapter charting the occurrence and use of the concept of freedom in Paul's epistles. In the main part of the thesis I compare the use of the concept of freedom in the Gospel of John and in Paul's letters.
