Biblical reflections on ascendancy and fruitfulness

Biblical reflections on ascendancy and fruitfulness - 2020.

The matter of ascendancy is an invitation to consider its opposite which, according to the Bible, is fruitfulness. While the Bible speaks of “domination” (by God or man), the meaning is to speak words that give life. Bearing fruit implies receiving another person. In contrast, ascendancy results from an attitude that puts oneself at the center of everything, rejecting any otherness.
