A hospitalidade nos padres apostólicosdidaqué, 1 carta Clemente de Roma aos coríntios e o pastor de hermas. Análise sócio-antropológica

Abstract

Testimonies of the Christian Antiquity on the hospitality, the Didache, the First Letter of Clement of Rome to the Corinthians, and the Shepherd of Hermas. Its reading and doctrinal and social representations, adopt the topic of hospitality from the socio-anthropological and ethic-theological perspective, to converge into an objective: to go through the theoretical fundaments of its central structure to the Christian tradition, underlining what the actual context suggests about the other, stranger/foreigner. It bases on the social science through the theoretical model, scene model, and empirical data. Investigates the language and the construction of the concept hospitality, the place of the hospitality at the OT and NT being commandment and looks for a particular appearance about early Christian literature to recover socio-anthropological categories applied to the reception process of the ancient Mediterranean culture, cultural context within which these texts move. Definitely, an opportunity to consider the essential elements, useful for the understanding of the hospitality that reveals the intimate interconnections between ideas and praxis around its current reality.
