Abstract

This study examines Christian philanthropy as a fundamental expression of ecclesial life and as the concrete manner in which the love of Christ becomes active in the world. Drawing on biblical and patristic foundations, the research highlights the historical development of philanthropy, its salvific role, and its relevance in a society marked by individualism and moral crisis. Philanthropy is presented not merely as a social action, but as an ethos and a mode of Christian existence—a continual calling to communion, responsibility, and self-giving. In the contemporary context, it remains an essential instrument for the reconstruction of community and for the reaffirmation of human dignity in the light of the Gospel.
