Building Bridges and Reciprocity in Countercultural Faith
Exploring the importance of engaging with the outside world in a countercultural faith context, this chapter emphasizes the New Testament's call for building networks and relationships instead of isolation. It warns against exclusivity and highlights the significance of reciprocity and a robust theology of the body of Christ to prevent cult-like tendencies. Delving into the dynamics of patronage and relationships in the ancient world, the discussion underscores the value of genuine generosity, mutual support, and reciprocal relationships in both social and spiritual contexts.
