Porównanie płaszczyzn badań nad bogactwem w Piśmie Świętym oraz literaturze greckiej i hellenistycznej

Abstract

The article provides a synthetic discussion of wealth in the Holy Scriptures and in Greek and Hellenistic literature. The issue is analyzed on three levels: terminological, axiological and ethical. For the sake of clarity, the article is divided into three parts. The first one deals with the most essential terms describing the rich and wealth both in the Holy Scriptures and in Greek and Hellenistic literature. The second part presents those values that were considered as wealth in the world of the Bible as well as Greek and Hellenistic culture. The third and final section discusses knowledge on wealth, which was recorded on the pages of the Bible and in the works of Greek and Hellenistic writers.
