Zwierzęta w wybranych apokryfach Starego i Nowego Testamentu
Animals in selected apocrypha from the Old and New Testaments

Summary/Abstract: The Apocrypha does not mention animals very often, but it does show their role and perception among the first Christians. Domestic animals can be converted, at the same time losing their predatory instincts. The Acts of the Apostles contain stories about miracles performed by animals, which they used in their sermons. In as much as the content of the Bible serious, the Apocrypha has no shortage of fantastic miracles and magical situations typical of this literature. It is essential to consider these stories in the context of the concepts prevailing at that time.
