I read an interesting article today about sharing in the early church, by no lesser person than an academic. it really is worth the time and consideration.
".. for those of us for whom the New Testament is not merely a record of the past but a challenge to the present, it is occasionally worth asking ourselves whether the distance separating the Christianity of the apostolic age from the far more comfortable Christianities of later centuries — and especially those of the developed world today — is more than one merely of time and circumstance."
