Perspektywy biblijne człowieka jako istoty społecznej

Abstract

Genesis 2, 18 states that, “It is not good for man to be alone”. This sentence can be considered the fundamental biblical tenet of the social aspect of man. This means that man is directed towards others – he has a tendency towards communities. Only in a community does man become fulfilled. The basic and most important relation between people – in the Biblical view. is the relation between man and woman. In the first story of the Creation, the central statement is that man and woman have the same personal dignity. They were created in the image and likeness of God. The article then speaks of the mutual fulfillment that occurs in the communion of love. When keeping in mind family, country, nation – man is a part of a group. We are all sisters and brothers because we all have One Father and Brother. In consequence, all men are equal. The final topic of discussion is the problem of the solidarity among all people which comes from the knowledge that we have One Father and Brother.
