Longnecker’s analysis of Greco-Roman poverty provides the backdrop for a compelling presentation of the importance of care for the poor within Paul’s theology and the Jesus-groups he had established. Along the way, Longenecker calls into question a variety of interpretive paradigms ― such as Steven J. Friesen’s 2004 poverty scale ― and offers a fresh vision in which Paul’s theological resources are shown to be both historically significant and theologically challenging.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Bruce W.
