Hladký, Petr ; Rybák, David (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
The aim of this work is to introduce the person of Tertullian, an early Christian apologet from the turn of the 2nd century. and 3. Century. A stoic cosmogonic model of the world and a focus mainly on the concept of the soul (psyche) and body (soma). To point out how Tertullian understands these modalities in terms of his theology, as he understands them in his writings of De anima and De carne Christi, how he defends them against his opponents from the ranks of heretics or neo-Platonics. Part of the work is also Tertullian's treatise on the most holy Trinity. The work is structured into three main parts. The first part points to the work, the historical context and the biography of Tertulian. The second part deals with stoic influences affecting the author. The third longest part deals with Tertullian's own theological concept in terms of soul and body. The work of the compilation method of interpretations of individual studies offers a comprehensive idea of Tertullian's idea of the essence of the soul, body, spirit and God.

The third part is focused on current works of theologians and historians in which various aspects of Tertullian's work like innocence, grace or nature of true religion are depicted and discussed.
