Remember the Poor Paul, Poverty, and the Greco-Roman World
Longenecker, Bruce W.
Remember the Poor Paul, Poverty, and the Greco-Roman World Bruce W. Longenecker - U.S.A William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2010 - 380tr. paperback, illustration 23 cm
Combining historical, exegetical, and theological interests, Bruce Longenecker here dispels the widespread notion that Paul had little or no concern for the poor. 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.
