The mystery of Jesus Christ's life in reflections of guests and staff of Radio Proglas The thesis is written at the Department of Dogmatic and Fundamental Theology of Catholic Theological Faculty of Charles University in Prague under the lead of prof. Ctirad V. Pospíšil, Th.D. The main source of author's research is the collection of 230 minutes of Radio Proglas programme called "Myšlenka na den" (The Thought of the Day). This collection is analyzed form the point of the view of Christology and soteriology. The second source is the theological literature, especially the prof. Ctirad V. Pospíšil's monography Jesus of Nazareth, Lord and Saviour, which is used as the theoretical base of the thesis. This theoretical base is illustrated by appropriate texts from the programme "Myšlenka na den". "Myšlenka na den" is the everyday programme: a reflection, where its author contemplates and comments the events of the civic and liturgical year. It is a personal reflection of people of Christian faith. The authors of "Myšlenka na den", guests and staff of Radio Proglas, are in 90 per cents of Roman Catholic confession. Among them are bishops, priests, laypersons with basic or higher theological education. Radio Proglas has the ecumenical dimension. Therefore the programme is also prepared - in appropriate proportion -...

This dissertation presents current concepts of protestant Christology, primarily based on how contemporary German theologians Christian Danz and Jens Schröter formulate their Christological theses. The first two parts of the thesis present the Christological concepts of both theologians. The presentation of the two conceptions follows their distinctive character and is not primarily structured for direct comparison. The work thus also covers aspects of the two theologians that are difficult to compare. The third part of the thesis is devoted to a critical comparison of the presented Christological conceptions. The comparison highlights specific moments in both theologians, their possible contradictions, and, at times, surprising agreements. The thesis does not conclude only by stating the partial differences of the Christological conceptions but attempts to formulate some current Christological trends in a more general way. Finally, the thesis concludes with the formulation of theses that could guide the author's Christological conception.

Notre travail de recherche pose la question de la présence de Dieu au coeur de la souffrance humaine. Une réponse nous est donnée dans la théologie de la Croix de Jiirgen Moltmann, théologie qui présente un Dieu qui s'abaisse, s'humilie et souffre ; un Dieu trinitaire qui, de toute éternité, par amour, se donne tout entier, porte en lui toute misère, toute souffrance, les faisant siennes jusqu'à subir volontairement l'abandon et la mort infâme sur la Croix et qui, au plus profond de la déréliction, fait surgir la vie nouvelle. C'est donc sous l'aspect de la kénose et celui de la souffrance créatrices que Dieu se révèle à nous et nous invite, à son exemple, à assumer notre propre souffrance, à nous rendre solidaires des plus malheureux, à lutter sans cesse contre le mal, la misère et l'injustice.

[pt] O Novo Testamento, e particularmente os sinóticos, desenvolvendo uma cristologia narrativa, nos apresenta uma imagem de Jesus Cristo solidário aos pobres e excluídos, quer enquanto alguém identificado com eles (come e bebe com eles, não tem moradia fixa, sofre morte de um outsider), quer privilegiando-os como primeiros destinatários do reino de Deus que ele veio anunciar e inaugurar. Por diversas razões, este dado tem sido mantido na penumbra ao longo dos séculos. Mas o Espírito de Deus que conduz a história, fez emergir, a partir do século XVIII, e de modo cada vez mais forte, o apelo da solidariedade que deveria configurar o modo humano de ser. Nos últimos 50 anos, a temática da solidariedade, já popularizada, passou também a integrar as reflexões da cristologia sistemática, de maneira sempre crescente e diversificada. (I Parte) Francisco de Assis, no século XIII, parece se antecipar a este fenômeno, apresentando, em forma embrionária, também uma imagem de Jesus Cristo profundamente solidário aos pobres e humildes. Faz acenos claros a isso nos três momentos chaves da vida de Jesus Cristo: a) na encarnação, ressaltando, ao nascer à beiro do caminho, sua opção pelos frágeis e excluídos da sociedade; b) na paixão, mistério nuclear de sua espiritualidade, mostrando, sobretudo no Ofício da Paixão, que sofre morte injusta por contradizer os interesses dos poderosos, por seu anúncio e sua prática em favor dos marginalizados; c) e no contínuo revestir-se da carne de nossa fragilidade, celebrado no Sacramento do seu Corpo e Sangue. Francisco, além disso, acrescenta traços do rosto solidário de Jesus Cristo mediante alguns títulos ou imagens que lhe atribui: o de servo, de pobre e peregrino e de pastor. (II Parte) A vida é viver o evangelho, não apenas refleti-lo. Por isso, se passa a fazer uma averiguação de sua implementação, também em três momentos: a) na intuição original, que aponta para o seguimento de Cristo desde os marginalizados, mais do que para ser missionário de uma instituição religiosa; b) depois, analisa-se sua implementação no principal texto normativo, a Regra não Bulada, onde a opção pelos excluídos, a exemplo de Jesus Cristo que não se envergonhou de se tornar pobre e peregrino por nós, é um dos seus pontos basilares; c) e, por fim, no Testamento, o último escrito normativo, no qual Francisco retoma e readapta o modo de vida que entendia ter-lhe sido revelado. A conclusão resulta clara: a solidariedade é uma das notas configuradoras do carisma franciscano originário e condição sine qua non para resgatá- lo e vivê-lo, fiel e criativamente, no presente e no futuro da história. (III Parte) / [fr] Le Nouveau Testament, particulièrement les évangiles synoptiques, en développant une christologie narrative, nous présente une image de Jésus Christ solidaire avec les pauvres et les exclus, soit comme quelqu un identifié à eux (il mange et il boit avec eux, il n a pas une demeure stable, il souffre la mort d un outsider), soit en les privilégiant comme les premiers destinataires du règne qu il est venu inaugurer pour eux. Pour des raisons variées cette référence fut maintenue dans la pénombre au long des siècles. Mais l Esprit de Dieu qui conduit l histoire, a fait émerger, à partir du 13ème siècle, et de manière toujours plus forte, l appel de la solidarité qui devrait configurer la manière humaine d être. Pendant les 50 dernières années, la thématique de la solidarité, déjà popularisée, est passée à intégrer les réflexions de la christologie systématique, de manière toujours plus croissante et diversifiée. (I Partie) François d Assise, au 13ème siècle, semble anticiper ce phénomène, en présentant, de forme embryonnaire, une image de Jésus Christ profondément solidaire avec les pauvres et les humbles. Il fait des signes clairs à cela en trois moments clef de la vie de Jésus Christ : a) dans l incarnation, il met en évidence la naissance à coté du chemin - son option pour les fragiles et les exclus de la société ; b) dans la passion, mystère nucléaire de sa spiritualité, il montre, surtout dans l Office de la Passion, qu il souffre une mort injuste pour contredire les intérêts des puissants, par son annonce et par sa pratique en faveur des marginalisés ; c) et dans le continu revêtissement de la chaire de notre fragilité célébré dans le Sacrement de son Corps et Sang. François, en plus, ajoute des traces de la face solidaire de Jésus Christ par quelques titres ou images qu il lui attribue : celle du serf, celle du pauvre et pèlerin, et celle du berger. (II Partie) La vie c est de vivre l évangile, ce n`est pas seulement une question de réflexion. Pour cela, on se met a faire une vérification de sa implémentation, aussi en trois moments : a) dans l intuition originale, qui mène à suivre le Christ a partir des marginalisés, plutôt que pour devenir missionnaire d une intuition religieuse ; b) après on analyse sa marque dans le principal texte normatif, la Règle non Bullée, où l option pour les exclus, à exemple de Jésus Christ qui n a pas eu honte de se faire pauvre et pèlerin pour nous est un de ses points basilaires ; c) et, en fin, dans le Testament, le dernier écrit normatif, dans lequel François reprend et réadapte la manière de vie qu il entendait avoir eu révélée. La conclusion résulte claire : la solidarité c est une des notes configuratives du charisme franciscain originaire et condition sine qua non pour le reprendre et le vivre, fidèle et créativement, dans le présent e dans le futur de l histoire (III Partie)

This study investigates the Christology of E.W Kenyon, the forefather of the Word Faith Movement (WFM). His theological system forms the foundation of the WFM’s doctrine as promoted by its many pastors and leaders all over the world. The Bible is the point of departure for this work: therefore a representative Reformed understanding of the Scriptures is established in order to conduct a Biblical evaluation of Kenyon’s Christology. Kenyon did not document his beliefs in a systematic manner. Therefore, in chapter two, selected volumes of his writings were minutely examined and organised in order to arrive at a representative statement of his Christology. Chapter 3 is a summary statement of Christology from a Reformed perspective. The writers scrutinised are of a more recent era in order to increase the likelihood of their responding to Kenyon’s theological construct, which dates from the first half of the twentieth century. Scriptural backing for all points of view is noted so as to build a Biblical basis for the representative Reformed definition. In chapter 4 the problematic areas of Kenyon’s Christology are assessed. The statements from chapters two and three are compared and Kenyon’s Christology is critically evaluated from a Biblical standpoint in order to arrive at a statement of conclusion. Chapter 5 is a concluding statement. It also gives recommendations for future study. There is considerable scope for an ongoing investigation of Kenyon’s theology. / Thesis (M.Th.
