Good News to the Poor: Wealth and Poverty in Luke - Acts

by Walter E. Pilgrim

How does the proclamation of good news to the poor in Luke's Gospel relate to wealth and poverty? What does Luke-Acts mean to affluent Christians and churches in our time? In a fresh, systematic way, Professor Pilgrim surveys Old Testament tradition on the poor and describes the Jesus movement as background for understanding Luke-Acts.

[Jamin Bradley]

This is a terrific exegetical work on the poor that does not try to find easy ways out of challenging passages. Well worth the read on the topic.
