Christian doctrine about the value of material goods

Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Bankowej w Poznaniu - Year 2016, Vol 68, Issue 3

Abstract

This article analyzes the biblical and patristic ideas about the value of economic goods, as well as, normative Christian view of the market price. The Bible and the writings of Christian authors distinctly share spiritual and material wealth. Spiritual wealth is incomparably greater and, moreover, equal in value for all. They cannot, under any circumstances, be the subject of economic exchange since they are exclusively free. Economic exchange based on the division of labour forced people to serve each other after the fall into sin.
