The Image of the Apostle Peter in the Work of the Evangelist Luke. This thesis focuses on examining the character of the leader of the group Twelve in the work of Luke the Evangelist. Introduction outlines the baseline of the entire treatise. The first part of the chapter presents information on the author of two New Testament writings himself, followed by an indication of the circumstances under which the work was shaped. Afterwards the views of experts are presented on the possible sources from which the author composed and edited the final text. This part ends in effort to determine the expected place and time of origin of the whole work. The second part of the first chapter informs on the theology of Luke's writings. This part contains discussion of the authors' intentions and theological accents with regard to the first of the apostles. Due to more complex view there is also mentioned a statistical survey of the character Peter the Apostle in episodes of different New Testament books. The second chapter forms the backbone of the work, and again in two subsections presents information obtained by studying the available literature on all periscopes in Luke's diptych in which the leader of the Apostles emerges as one of the main characters. The first part relates to the stories enrolled in the...

To Be As A Children? Exegesy Of Mk 10:13-16 The study deals with the exegesis of the pericope of the Gospel of Mark (Mk 10:13-16), generally known under the title The Little Children and Jesus. A part of the work is dedicated to the text of the pericope, not only from the point of view of its Czech translation, but also with consideration of the Greek text through which we strive to understand the original message of the author and its perception by the then recipients as well as the contemporary ones. To grasp the studied text better, it is perceived in the immediate context of the Transjordan passage of the Second Gospel, as well as in the broader context of the entire Gospel of Mark. Mark's text and his compositions are also compared with the parallel texts of synoptic gospels whose authors used Mark's original as a background. Two separate chapters are dedicated to the analysis of two crucial terms of Jesus's statement in the fifteenth verse: children - as the ancient and postmodern interpretations may differ significantly - and the kingdom of God, which is the core of the pericope, as well as the entire Mark's narration of Jesus's earthly preaching. The purpose of the work is to interpret the story and to understand, in depth, Jesus's statement: "Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God...

No. of bitstreams: 1 Adriano Correa da Silva.pdf: 767159 bytes, checksum: 98715671b34dc515d4c05204b457d9e2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-05-15 / ADVENIAT / Amid the various threats that human life is, the Catholic Church cools further its mission inherited by Christ to proclaim the Gospel of Life to the universality of the people, for she firmly believes that human life, even when marked by weaknesses, and even by physical or mental disabilities, pre-and postnatal, is always a splendid gift of God to be protected. This is the horizon of the defense of human life, and more precisely, the cases of fetal anencephaly, that their dissertation converges to evidence in the light of Christian revelation, but also through interdisciplinarity, that human life is a fundamental principle and primary among all values between different cultures. Therefore, the first chapter is about an expression often used by John Paul II - "culture of life" - which, in turn, must be cultivated and propagated throughout the world as the center of the message proclaimed by Christ and his Church as delegated depository of Evangelium Vitae and in time in the history of mankind, for man alive is the first and fundamental way for the Church. For this purpose, the respective chapter discusses the aspect of biblical-theological conception of human life and human being. In the second chapter, in contrast to the first, is the explanation of the terminology - "culture of death" - since there are numerous signs that arise to threaten human life, and nascent human life, God-given as a gift. And one of the threats to human dignity still in its early uterine culture is the death of abortion legislation that attempts to expand worldwide, including in the current Brazilian Congress, to include cases of fetal anencephaly. Finally, the third chapter, such as character conclusion reaffirms the defense of human life as a task and responsibility that must be taken not only by the Church of Christ, but for all people of good will as a way to go before a question of survival of humanity itself, which must be awakened, increasingly, develop an ethical principle against the defense of human life, especially the helpless intra-uterine life / Em meio às diversas ameaças em que a vida humana se encontra, a Igreja Católica arrefece ainda mais a sua missão herdada por Cristo de anunciar o Evangelho da Vida à universalidade dos povos, pois ela crê firmemente, que a vida humana, mesmo quando marcada por fragilidades, e até mesmo por deficiências físicas ou mentais, pré e pósnatal, é sempre um dom esplêndido de Deus a ser protegido. É neste horizonte de defesa da vida humana, e mais precisamente, dos casos de anencefalia fetal, que esta respectiva dissertação se converge para evidenciar sob a luz da Revelação cristã, mas também por meio da interdisciplinaridade, que a vida humana consiste em um princípio fundamental e primário entre todos os valores existentes entre as diversas culturas. Portanto, o primeiro capítulo fala sobre uma expressão muito usada por João Paulo II - cultura da vida - que, por sua vez, deve ser cultivada e propagada em todo o mundo como centro da mensagem anunciada por Cristo e delegada à sua Igreja como depositária deste Evangelium Vitae no tempo e na história da humanidade, pois o homem vivo constitui o primeiro e fundamental caminho eclesial. Para este objetivo, o respectivo capítulo aborda o aspecto bíblico-teológico da concepção da vida humana e do ser humano. No segundo capítulo, em contraposição ao primeiro, faz a explanação da terminologia - cultura de morte uma vez que existem inúmeros sinais que se levantam para ameaçar a vida humana, e a vida humana nascente, recebida de Deus como dom. E uma das ameaças contra a dignidade do homem ainda na sua fase uterina é a cultura de morte do aborto, que tenta ampliar a legislação em todo o mundo, inclusive no atual Congresso Brasileiro, para incluir os casos de anencefalia fetal. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo, já como caráter de conclusão, reafirma a defesa da vida humana como tarefa e responsabilidade, que deve ser assumida, não somente pela Igreja de Cristo, mas por todas as pessoas de boa vontade como caminho a ser percorrido para uma questão de sobrevivência da própria humanidade, que deve se despertar, cada vez mais, para o amadurecimento ético frente ao princípio de defesa da vida humana, principalmente a vida indefesa intra-uterina

This work reflects on how the Seventh-day Adventist Church meets the challenges of postmodernism, despite itself having its roots deep in the modern era. The first part deals with the origin of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the development of its dogma. It primarily focuses on the Thomas Reid?s philosophy of common sense and describes the Adventist statements of dogma that are typical of this church and were influenced by the philosophy of common sense. The second part analyses how this church deals with the challenges of the postmodern era. It describes the current categorisation of Adventist theology on the basis of the differing macro-hermeneutic of the individual streams that depend on how they view the relationship between God and time. It also indicates the practical impacts that these various approaches to church praxis lead to. The aim of this work is to be as objective as possible in describing the current situation and show the potential risks and solutions that the church and its members face. In the author?s opinion, an adequate response to the problems of Adventism in the postmodern era can be found in shifting the emphasis to a general Christian perspective and in redefining specifically Adventist teachings.

The thesis deals with the power in the Gospel of John, specifically with the term EXOUSIA, which means power or authority. This thesis engages in separate passages of the Gospel of John in which the evangelist uses the term EXOUSIA, it examines its context in which was the term used and tries to determine in which meaning it is used. Thereby,this thesis tries to answer the question what does the evangelist understand under the term power (EXOUSIA).

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.

Sanctification according to John 17: 13-19 The diploma thesis deals with an exegesis of John 17:13-19 with emphasis on an interpretation of the verses 17 and 19 and within them especially on the meaning of the term sanctification. The first chapter presents a brief introduction to the Gospel of St. John, the second one shows the chosen pericope in a contextual view and subsequently brings its literary-grammatical analysis. The third chapter focuses on an analysis of the selected biblical-theological terms which are fundamental for understanding of the pericope. The last chapter brings the exegesis itself with the aid of selected commentaries. The aim of the thesis is to interpret the presented pericope and to get to its deeper sense especially in connection with the term sanctification. The method used in this thesis is an analysis of the original text and a comparison of selected commentaries.

The thesis "Jesus Cleansing the Jerusalem Temple: History and Theological Accents in Individual Gospels" deals with the event described by all four canonical Gospels. The paper describes the appearance of the Jerusalem Temple in Jesus' time and selected aspects of its spiritual, political, economic and sociological role in the life of the Jewish population of Palestine in the 1st century AD. The author notices the selected negative circumstances that could have led Jesus of Nazareth to enter the Jerusalem temple with the intention of disrupting the order and returning the Temple to its original purpose. The author pays great attention to evidence to confirm the theory that the "event" in the Temple occurred twice. One at the beginning of Jesus' public activity (described in the Gospel according to John) and once at the end (described in synoptics). Further, the author pays attention to the arguments in support of the historicity of the described events. Keywords Jesus of Nazareth, Jerusalem Temple, Gospel, Historicity, Cleansing of the Temple

The thesis follows one of the supporting characters from the New Testament, James, the brother of the Lord. The first chapter deals with the meaning and occurrence of the name James in both biblical and non-biblical sources. The following second chapter deals with the canonical biblical texts that depict fragments of James' life. However, many questions remain about the closer characterization of our wanted person James and the form of his earthly family. The thesis also examines whether James could or could not really be the brother of Jesus of Nazareth. Through the analysis of texts we look for the answer that canonical texts give us.Subsequently, in the third chapter attention is also directed to the apocryphal and non-biblical sources that govern us about our James. In connection with the wanted James is mentioned and the first church community in Jerusalem, in which James played a significant leadership role. The aim of the thesis is to describe the character of James, the brother of the Lord, by means of all analyzed sources. In conclusion, a summary possible solution of questions concerning James, the Lord's Brother is presented. Keywords James, brothers of the Lord, Acts of the Apostles, the primary Christian community in Jerusalem.
