En un momento, como el actual, de replanteamiento de las raíces, de exageración de los nacionalismos, de secularización galopante, de fundamentalismos, de intolerancia religiosa... la vuelta a los orígenes del cristianismo no es inocua. Puede descubrir intereses de poder, manipulaciones de sentido, transformaciones de significados, alteraciones de las jerarquías de valores, asimilaciones desleales, etc. Sin embargo, también manifiesta entregas encomiables, sacrificios testimoniales, plenitudes de sentido, fidelidades admirables, proezas emocionantes, etc. Todo ello forma parte de la acción de Dios en esta historia nuestra; la vuelta a los orígenes del cristianismo quiere, ante todo, volver a descubrir esa obra de Dios entonces y ahora.

This insightful study explores the significance of the interactions between Jesus and 'marginal' women recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. Employing social-scientific models and carefully using comparative data, Love examines the various aspects of this marginality, identifying the attempts of Matthew's Gospel to promote Jesus's vision of a new surrogate family of God that challenges the traditional structures of the household.

Values are culturally specific. This handbook explains select biblical social values in their Mediterranean cultural contexts. Some examples of values are altruism, freedom, family-centeredness, obedience, parenting, and power. Though the English words for the values described here would be familiar to readers (e.g., altruism) the meanings of such words differ between cultures. In the Mediterranean world, for instance, altruism is a duty incumbent upon anyone who has surplus. It is interpersonal and group specific. In the West, especially in the United States, altruism is impersonal and universally oriented generosity that operates in a highly organized context. This handbook not only presents the Mediterranean meanings of these value words but also contrasts those meanings with Western ones.
