Arabscy chrześcijanie wobec astrologii na podstawie traktatu O wierze chrześcijan w wyroki gwiazd Eliasza z Nisibi
The Arab Christian Teaching on Astrology in the light on Elias’ of Nisibis treatise On Christian faith in the sentences of the stars

Summary/Abstract: Elias of Nisibis belongs to the most prolific writers of his time. His seventh maǧlis with Abī l Qāsi is focused on the sentencenes of the stars and merits our attention due to its unceasing relevance. The discourse may be divided in two sections: firstly concerning human freedom, and secondly dealing with his rationality. These two factors are the main arguments in Elias’ refutation of fate and astrology. In this his teaching becomes a part of the Syriac Christian theological legacy. As a logician he exposes persistently the irrational character of any astrological and fatalistic doctrine.
