Back to List of Topics

This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Property describes everything which is owned by a person. Ownership in the Bible is understood to be derivative, as we and all our property are actually owned by God (Psalm 24:1). This topic will therefore have some overlap with Stewardship, but will attempt to focus more on examining passages to develop an understanding of property which can be applied to better understand other topics regulating transfer of ownership in trade agreements, and what constitutes theft.
