Description
Loving the Poor, Saving the Rich: Wealth, Poverty and Early Christian Formation The relationship between wealth and poverty has been a central concern for Christians since the earliest days of the movement. This study explores how early Christians adapted and transformed Jewish and Greco-Roman moral teachings on giving and patronage to inform their understanding of wealth and its impact on Christian identity. Helen Rhee examines the ways in which early Christians navigated these complex issues, demonstrating the ongoing relevance of their thought and practice for the contemporary church. By exploring this pivotal aspect of Christian discipleship, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the roots of Christian theology and ethics.
