Abstract(s)
Pretende-se abordar a dupla perspetiva bíblica sobre a pobreza: enquanto contexto social do qual não somos os causadores ou responsáveis, ou como um estado de espírito que promove a fraternidade e a bem-aventurança. Ambas as perspetivas criticam a mundividência que olha para a pobreza como um castigo divino ou como uma fatalidade da qual não existe escapatória possível. Ora, o próprio vocabulário bíblico oferece amplas perspetivas sobre estes olhares ao longo de toda a história de Israel, na qual os profetas e a literatura sapiencial assumiram uma crítica aguda a todos aqueles que oprimem os pobres ou que são causadores de situações de injustiça.
This article deals with the double biblical worldview about poverty: as a social context one is not responsible for, or as a state of mind which enhances brotherhood and fraternity. Both of them criticize the worldview that looks upon poverty as a punishment or as fate impossible to be changed. The biblical vocabulary on this subject offers a broad perspective from these woldviews throughout Israel’s history, where the prophets and wisdom literature assumed an acute critique of all those who oppress the poor in various ways.
