Abstract
The ethical and spiritual considerations of Matthew’s Beatitudes: Configuration of the human being in companies
Highlights
Most companies consider human beings as a resource (Pirson 2016:1–7; Toro-Jaramillo & Ramírez 2017); this position adopts a functionalist perspective and focuses on how companies operate
In viewpoint of the above, after employing different search equations whilst reviewing scientific databases – Scopus, Web of Science and Ebsco – we identified the research gap with respect to these subject areas because studies related to ethics in general, business ethics and even spirituality prevail, inadequate research prevails with respect to companies’ biblical viewpoints
We present a contextualisation of the studies conducted and published in various databases associated with companies and spirituality areas
Summary
Most companies consider human beings as a resource (Pirson 2016:1–7; Toro-Jaramillo & Ramírez 2017); this position adopts a functionalist perspective and focuses on how companies operate. In the second part, the macarism states that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, and it can be deduced that Matthew 5:6 entails being righteous to seeks God’s Kingdom and illustrate one’s relationship with God, whilst Matthew 5:10 reveals this aspect but firstly emphasises pursuing justice for neighbours and one’s relationship with them (Camacho 1986:152) When the expression those persecuted for the sake of justice is carefully analysed and related to the previous macarism (5:3–9), it can be inferred that those persecuted are people who choose to follow the path of justice, that is, the manner of living that Jesus presented in the Beatitudes (Rodríguez 2006:66). This path encourages human beings to evaluate their actions through introspective and critical analysis; the path offered by Matthew’s Beatitudes is, in the end, a path of humanisation that is open to all those who believe that it is important to build a more just and humane society
