Generøsitetens teologi

„A Theology of Generosity“, aims to reinterpret the doctrine grace in light postmodern discussions on gift and giving. It is argued that idea a divine-human reciprocity already entailed Old Testament term berakah (blessing/thanking) as well New concepts eulogéo (blessing/praising) cháris (grace). The concept reciprocity, however, need phenomenological clarification. Three conditions for suitable divine generosity giving are identified: (1) God must be able carry risk being first donor without receiving returns; almighty not returns. (2) Grace should seen mere object; rather self-giving present grace. (3) God-human relation conceived merely bilateral (with immediate or postponed counter-gifts); facilitates wider circulation gifts. With grace, human beings receive an impulse pass gifts other creatures within multilateral network receiving. Never, ability do so condition generosity.
