| Summary: | The metropolis of Rome offers in the second century A.C. many opportunities to Christian brokers looking to enrich themselves with their businesses. However, the excessive preoccupation with the commercial success leads to the diluted identity and community commitment of rich Christians. Faced with this possible loss of identity, Hermas, previously a broker, urges his former colleagues to reduce their business efforts and direct the productive surplus of their businesses towards the care of the Christian poor and widows in order to enhance their community involvement while offering them an identity marginality thanks to the creation of a "virtual citizenship". La metrópoli de Roma ofrece en el siglo II d.C. muchas oportunidades a los brókers cristianos que buscan enriquecerse con sus negocios. Sin embargo, la excesiva preocupación por el éxito comercial propicia que la identidad y el compromiso comunitario de los cristianos acomodados se diluyan. Ante esta posible pérdida de identidad, Hermas, previamente un bróker, exhorta a sus antiguos colegas a reducir sus afanes empresariales y a dirigir el excedente productivo de sus negocios hacia el cuidado de los pobres y las viudas de la comunidad con el objeto de potenciar su implicación comunitaria, al tiempo que les ofrece una marginalidad identitaria gracias a la creación de una "ciudadanía virtual". |
