Описание
Итог:In recent decades we have observed the recovery of the Christian tradition of hospitality. Christian theologians mostly view hospitality as a fundamental spiritual virtue, an obligation, that is essential for the dynamic expression of authentic Christian faith. Emphasis is given to the moral significance of hospitality. The intention of this article is to demonstrate that a theological framework of hospitality can be enriched by dialoguing with the interpretation of hospitality in continental philosophy. The philosophical approach calls attention to the fact that hospitality is not only a moral virtue that inspires the response of Christian communities to the needs of and the most vulnerable. First and foremost, hospitality should be regarded as unconditional exposure to the Other. This article will conclude with an analysis of preliminary outcomes and of prospects for the further development of a truly hospitable attitude to the other in Ukrainian evangelical communities.
