Unfortunately, it is often the poor who are left wanting because we no longer come together. Reta Halteman Finger finds a solution to this modern problem by learning from the ancient Mediterranean Christian culture of community.... ""Of Widows and Meals"" begins a discussion of need in community that can revolutionize the contemporary church's interaction with the world at large.  aBible -- Acts -- Criticism  aDinners and dining in the Bible  aChurch history Primitive and early church4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11538/37.jpgyCover Image
