CEVAP:

It is a good idea to start our elaboration of property with saying that Christianity-as the New Testament of The Bible-continued the ethical codes of Judaism, especially the ultimate ten commandments revealed to Moses, one of which is “thou shalt not steal” (Exodus 20: 15). Despite the fact that Christianity did not condemn any property holding, and that medieval political writers had seen property as natural and
right and demanded respect for it, Christianity seemed to suggest a type of voluntary poverty, and a type of sharing goods which might be related with communism. The early Christian community in Jerusalem seemed to be united towards this as a social ideal, which made them share a single heart and a soul.

Following the ideals of early Christianity on voluntary poverty, the leading institutions of medieval Europe included monasticism and other forms of religious life, which praise poverty and communal living, instead of saving and claiming property.
