The gift logic at its purest sounds like the height of virtue: self-sacrificing, open-handed, generous, gentle. But how does it square with the demands of justice? Can they coexist in the same moral galaxy? This week’s episode wrestles with these questions, and our interlocutors come from inside the Comment team: associate editor Heidi Deddens and senior editor Brian Dijkema. Two different lenses, one faith. Two distinct generational outlooks, a shared cultural context. Are justice and the gift logic actually at odds, or are they simply in need of some re-encountering? Tune in to find out.
