Introduction Stating the question : a middle-class bias against communal sharing? ; Economic sharing in Acts? a history of (mis)interpretation Naming the meal : agape, Eucharist, bread-breaking Meals on wheels for the widows? common meals versus poor relief From the top down : socio-economic structures of an agrarian society Jerusalem : productive city on a hill How the non-elite survived : social relations and community values Copycats? Essene communal life as model Never eat alone! food and meals as cultural symbols ; "A glutton and a drunkard" : Jesus and table fellowship ; "Upstairs, downstairs" : widows and other women in dining room and kitchen The intentional community : an exegesis of Acts 2:41-47 The widows' complaint : an exegesis of Acts 5:42-6:1-6 Daily commensality : a necessity then, impractical today?
