Egységes az újszövetségi iratok tanítása az anyagi javakhoz való hozzáállásról?
Tartalom
The hypothesis of our own research is: the books of the New Testament Scripture, represent the same thinking on a particular issue, because they are the basis of a canon. This assumption is also important because on the question of material goods and the relation between rich and poor would be difficult to imagine far-reaching differences, as these questions were also central topics of the teaching of Jesus. It is not our goal to analise each book of the Scripture, but to synthesize the basic ideas of different theological schools about material goods, and how a good Christian can behave with money and wealth. For a better understanding of the context, we considered it important to present in a separate chapter the social situation that characterized Palestine in the 1st century AD. In this paper I will analize three different "units" from the New Testament: three stories from the gospels that give directions on material goods, the thoughts about wealth in the James' letter, and the teachings of the Pauline theology on material goods. I choosed these texts because they use examples which were obvious for contemporary people, and the disciples, they could understood the references, which may have lost their meaning or it changed completely for our days. Nonetheless these teachings are valid until today and can help our society to make the best decisions when it is about supporting needy people.
