Bc. Ji í Ondruš The Jesus' Beatitudes in the Context of the Gospel of Matthew Anotace v anglickém jazyce: The Jesus' Beatitudes cannot be understood as a completely isolated part of Jesus' teaching. Therefore, the knowledge of the whole gospel of Matthew is necessary for their understanding. In this thesis I compare the individual words contained in the Beatitudes with the same words in the Gospel of Matthew outside the Beatitudes. By this means I find the meaning of Jesus' message in the Beatitudes contained in the Gospel of Matthew. I also present and compare ancient Greek copies (the Sinai Code and the Vatican Code) and six most famous Czech translations of this Gospel. I also compare the exegesis of well-known biblical scholars, especially what they agree on, but also what they fundamentally differ on. An important part is also a synoptic comparison with the Beatitudes of the evangelist Luke. The aim of this thesis is to get as close as possible to the meaning of the specific section of Mt 5: 1-12, which represents the lifelong program of Jesus' followers, but also Jesus. Jesus introduces himself at the beginning of the mountain sermon. He speaks not only of how his disciples are supposed to be, but also of how he is.

Diploma thesis "Social-Ethical Aspects of the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount" reflects on chapters 5 - 7 of Mathew 's Gospel. It is based on the Greek translation of the Gospel and aims to express the supertemporal prehension of Jesus' ethical requirements by a man of any century, meaning by a man of our current days too. The paper verges on biblical studies and practical and spiritual theology. Diploma thesis focuses on relation between Jesus' requirements and ancient Hebrew ethical and social norms described in Torah and updated in Old Testament Prophets' scriptures. This paper shows their cohesion but emphasizes the Jesus original approach which reveals a deeper meaning of all Torah ethical norms and rules. Following the chapters of Sermon on the Mount , it is described how St. Matthew uses this intention . Social and ethical aspects of this text are highlighted and covered by many Old Testament citations which are related to the background of Jesus' Teachings. This paper also describes basic approaches to the Sermon on the Mount interpretation and shows the reader the direction. But no final conclusion of this topic can be made as we have been dealing with the secret.

It is possible to identify immediately the ethical-religious nature of the Biblical text of the first century and the political-educational character of the report based on the contemporary education s worldview. At a first moment, the research sets the examination of the theoretical principles of the genders of discourse, the conditions of production, the ethos, and the interdiscursivity. After that, both discourses are examined under those principles so that, at last, it is possible to verify and confirm the interdiscursivity between these discourses about the question of learning to be. / Esta tese tem como objetivo principal pesquisar a interdiscursividade entre o Sermão do Monte, do Evangelho de Mateus, e os Quatro Pilares da Educação do Relatório da Comissão Internacional sobre a Educação para o Século XXI apresentado à UNESCO. De imediato se identifica o caráter ético-religioso do texto bíblico do primeiro século, enquanto que o texto do relatório revela-se político-educacional, alicerçado na cosmovisão de educação contemporânea. A pesquisa se detém num primeiro momento no exame do referencial teórico dos gêneros discursivos, das condições de produção, do ethos e da interdiscursividade, aplicados, em seguida, a cada um dos textos citados para, ao final, buscar-se e confirmar a concorrência da interdiscursividade entre esses discursos, quanto ao aprender a ser.

Essa dissertação tem como objetivo geral apresentar a importância da Cultura da Paz examinando o sermão do Monte em harmonia com os Pilares da Bioética e suas contribuições para a promoção da Cultura da Paz. A Educação como um instrumento próprio na divulgação e promoção da Cultura da Paz e a religião como forte aliada da ciência na propagação da paz. Os objetivos específicos são: Apresentar o Movimento Mundial da Cultura da paz; Contribuir com o estudo sobre o Sermão do Monte e os pilares da Bioética na promoção da Cultura da Paz; Refletir sobre função da escola como um local propício para a implantação da cultura da Paz sem esquecer de seus desafios mantendo a esperança e a fé em dias melhores. Apresentar alguns desafios da escola de hoje e as possíveis saídas para as crises da contemporaneidade sobre a escola. A dissertação é dividida em três capítulos. O primeiro versa sobre a Cultura da paz. O segundo sobre a contribuição da religião especificamente cristã através do Sermão do Monte proferido por Jesus Cristo e os Pilares da Bioética.

Dialogamos dentre outros com: Boff, Dreyfus, Nascimento, Engelmann, Milani, Dias, Noleto, Rodrigues, Sinner, Waiselfisz, Barchifotaine, Beauchamp, Brakemeier, Comte-Sponville Cescon e Nodari, Delors, Sales, Gadoti, Estáquio, Martin Lutero, Boock, DAmbrósio, Lück, Aranha, Almeida, Chalita, Paulo Freire. A metodologia empregada é a bibliográfica, pesquisando em toda literatura pertinente, abrangendo várias áreas do conhecimento como também, outros meios de informação a respeito do tema que abarque toda bibliografia já tornada pública, desde publicações avulsas, boletins, jornais, revistas, livros, pesquisas, monografias, teses, etc. Utilizei, onde apropriado, meios de comunicação orais: rádio, gravação em cd e áudio visual: filmes e televisão. Portanto, essa pesquisa busca, em um primeiro momento, verificar por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e da interlocução entre religião e educação fundamentar teoricamente a possibilidade de mudança de comportamento entre os agentes escolares, desde a direção até o porteiro, Certamente, essa paz que desejamos é um reflexo da construção de valores como bondade, justiça, equidade, humildade. O espaço escolar pode tornar-se um local propício para a promoção de Cultura de Paz tendo como meta Educar para a Paz. / This thesis has as its general goal to present the importance of the Culture of Peace examining the Sermon on the Mount in harmony with the Pillars of Bioethics and their contributions to the promotion of a Culture of Peace. And Education as an appropriate instrument in divulging and promoting a Culture of Peace with religion as a strong ally of science in the propagation of peace. The specific goals are: to present the World Movement of a Culture of Peace; contribute to the study of the Sermon on the Mount and the pillars of Bioethics in the promotion of the Culture of Peace; reflect on the role of the school as a propitious space for the implantation of a Culture of Peace without forgetting its challenges while maintaining hope and faith in better days; to present some of the challenges of the school today and possible ways out of the crises of contemporaneity within the schools. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first deals with the Culture of Peace. The second is about the contribution of religion, specifically the Christian religion, through the Sermon on the Mount proffered by Jesus Christ, and the Pillars of Bioethics. And the last deals with the school as a propitious space for the implantation of a culture of peace. We dialogued with: Boff, Dreyfus, Nascimento, Engelmann, Milani, Dias, Noleto, Rodrigues, Sinner, Waiselfisz, Barchifotaine, Beauchamp, Brakemeier, Comte- Sponville Cescon and Nodari, Delors, Sales, Gadoti, Estáquio, Martin Lutero, Boock, DAmbrósio, Lück, Aranha, Almeida, Chalita, Paulo Freire. The methodology used was bibliographic, researching in all the pertinent literature, ranging over various areas of knowledge, as well as in other means of information regarding the theme which covers all the bibliography already made public, from sporadic publications, bulletins, newspapers, journals, books, to other research, monographs, theses, etc. Where appropriate I used oral means of communication: radio, CDs and audio visuals: films and television. Therefore this research seeks to, in the first moment, theoretically substantiate, through bibliographic research and through the interlocution between religion and education, the possibility of behavioral change among school agents, from the head staff to the door keeper. Certainly, this peace which we desire is a reflection of the construction of values such as kindness, justice, equity, humility. The school space can become a propitious space for promoting a Culture of Peace as the goal of Educating for Peace.

Text in French / This thesis studies the relations between Christians and Muslim in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in the light of the Sermon on the Mount. Both communities, each from its own side, claim to have received the divine message to proclaim to all humanity. In the eastern DRC, as elsewhere, the encounter between these two communities often causes tension and conflict, leading to violence. These facts were established by analyzing the general context in the East since the end of the 19th century until today. The war at the end of the 19th century, which saw anti-slavery groups pitted against Arabs and their Islamic allies, is seen as one of the main original causes of the conflict. The memories of that war revive the spirit of the crusades in the Middle Ages. This has affected the relationship between the two communities. Fear of the other drives the defence mechanism that produces violence. The strategy to restore peace is an irenic approach based on the identity of the disciples as peace builders, true descendants of Abraham, agents of surpassing justice, and participants in the new humanity. Concretely, the disciples of Jesus should work for a mission that has the following simultaneous features: making peace with a view to establishing the reign of God; practising Abrahamic hospitality by opening oneself even to one‟s enemies; building the home of justice that takes into account the values of Shari‟ah and Christian virtues to create a pluralistic world; taking upon itself the promotion of intercultural and interreligious dialogue. The mission of peace is the main task. It is an attempt to restore broken relations and an effort at reconciliation. It establishes peace as equally important as other dimensions of mission, but it does not constitute the totality of mission. It is one dimension of the salvation of humanity and of the re-establishment of the reign of God on earth. Peace is about more than the cessation of hostilities or the absence of war; it refers to shalom, or total peace. This is the gospel of peace announced by Jesus Christ. / Cette thèse étudie les relations de chrétiens et musulmans à l‟Est de la RDC à la lumière du Sermon sur la montagne. Tous, chacun de son côté, se réclament avoir reçu le message divin pour annoncer à tous les hommes. A l‟Est de la RDC comme ailleurs, la rencontre de ces deux communautés occasionne souvent de tensions et conflits, source de violence. Ces faits ont été établis par l‟analyse du contexte général de l‟Est depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours. La guerre qui a opposé vers la fin du XIXe siècle les troupes de la société anti-esclavagistes contre les arabes et leurs alliés islamisés, est perçue comme l‟une des principales causes lointaines du conflit. Ainsi, les souvenirs de cette guerre font raviver l‟esprit de la guerre des croisades du Moyen-âge. Ceci a affecté les relations de ces deux communautés. La peur de l‟autre pousse à développer le mécanisme de défense qui a instauré le règne de la violence. La stratégie pour restaurer la paix est celle d‟une approche irénique basée sur l‟identité des disciples comme des artisans de paix, des fils authentiques d‟Abraham, des agents de l‟excellente justice, et des participants à l‟humanité nouvelle. Concrètement, les disciples de Jésus doivent oeuvrer pour une mission à la fois shalomatique en vue d‟instaurer le règne de Dieu ; dans l‟esprit d‟hospitalité abrahamique en s‟ouvrant même à ses ennemis ; bâtissant la maison de justice qui prend en compte les valeurs de la Shari‟a et des vertus chrétiennes pour un monde pluraliste ; et assumant la promotion interculturelle par le dialogue interreligieux. La mission de paix est la tâche principale. Elle est un essai de restauration de relations brisées et un effort de réconciliation. Elle englobe aussi bien la paix que d‟autres dimensions. Mais, elle ne constitue pas tout le contenu de la mission. Elle est une composante du salut de l‟homme et du rétablissement du Royaume des Cieux au monde. Ainsi, la paix envisage plus que la cessation d‟hostilités ou absence de guerres. Ici, elle désigne le shalom ou la paix totale. C‟est l‟Evangile de paix annoncé par Jésus. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)

The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on the ethical values in the Old and New Testament. At the beginning basic concepts are defined, that are essential for the thesis and are related to ethics and moral evaluation. The first part centres on the important events that shaped society and that come from The Bible (Creation, The Ten Commandments, God's contracts with the nation of Israel, the life of Jesus Christ, the parables, The Sermon on the Mount and The Lord's Prayer). The thesis also compares these values with the philosophy of Socrates and then with the approach, that Jan Amos Comenius offered in his work. The second part analyzes views of Christian ethical values today : whether there is a need to know these values, why we should strive for their observance, whether they are current and whether people (Christians and atheists ) honor and follow them. On the basis of the second section I conclude, that our culture is formed under the strong influence of Christianity, these values are still held and are considered important for the functioning of human relationships and society. Although it may seem that these values are not held today, they are still an ideal within our culture and people are trying to achieve them in their lifes.
