Prawo naturalne w Starym Testamencie?

Abstract

A common opinion exists that in the Old Testament there is no notion of „natural law”, because the religion and piety expressed in the first part of the Christian Bible focuses on the election and responsibility of Israel. Nevertheless, there are some motives which will be taken as a biblical basis for the concept of „natural law”. First of all, the Noachide laws are considered, especially as they were interpreted in early and later Jewish tradition, and then some other texts of the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Bible, which should be interpreted as the very fundament of theologically matured concept of „natural law”.
