Gniew Boży a gniew ludzki w świetle terminologii Pierwszej i Drugiej Księgi Machabejskiej
The Maccabees, although they belong to the historical books of the OT (in some traditions), contain many theological and anthropological threads. Among them there are questions of both God’s and human anger. The authors of the Book of the Maccabees describe anger using two terms: orgē´ and thymós. It is clear from the statistics and references of the discussed terms that the word orgē´ was essentially associated with the person of God, whereas both orgē´ and thymós were used for humans. The analysis of particular terms in specific contexts allows us to note the nuances of how the two terms were employed and to determine to what degree the authors of the Books of the Maccabees used them consistently.
