Abstract

An interdisciplinarity becames more and more popular approach in
contemporary science to explaning the complexity of the world. The article
tries to show that the Bible is a genuine source where we can find many
archetypes of various economical theories and concepts. One of them is
land, soil itself. From the economical point of view land is one of the primary
factors of production. Land has got not only economical value, but
also social and cultural. The Bible is a great source of inspiration for many
economical ideas concerning land, i.e. the value of land, ownership of land and cyclical fertility of the soil (vide: Sabbath rest). The main goal of this
paper is to find and compare the contemporary economical knowledge to
the knowledge of the Pentateuch and provide an economic explanation for
the word of God.
