More About This Title Remember the Poor
- English
English
Combining historical, exegetical, and theological interests, Bruce Longenecker here dispels the widespread notion that Paul had little or no concern for the poor.
Longneckerâs analysis of Greco-Roman poverty provides the backdrop for a compelling presentation of the importance of care for the poor within Paulâs theology and the Jesus-groups he had established. Along the way, Longenecker calls into question a variety of interpretive paradigms â such as Steven J. Friesenâs 2004 poverty scale â and offers a fresh vision in which Paulâs theological resources are shown to be both historically significant and theologically challenging.

âThis important book reveals an economic dimension of Paulâs gospel that has only rarely been identified and never expounded so fully and convincingly. It also builds up a realistic picture of the way that care for the poor was embodied in the life of the communities Paul founded. Longeneckerâs well-informed and careful arguments deserve wide attention.â
