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.
