Usage: In the New Testament, "proslémpsis" refers to the act of receiving or accepting someone or something. It conveys the idea of welcoming or taking in with favor. This term is often used in the context of interpersonal relationships within the Christian community, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and unity among believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social acceptance and hospitality were significant cultural values. The early Christian church, emerging in this context, placed a strong emphasis on the acceptance of individuals regardless of their social status, ethnicity, or background. This was a radical departure from the prevailing societal norms, which often involved strict social hierarchies and divisions.
