Neither Poverty Nor Riches: Biblical Theology Of Possessions by Craig L. Blomber

Description: Neither Poverty Nor Riches by Craig L. Blomberg A comprehensive biblical theology of the Christian attitude to poverty, wealth and material possessions FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description One of the most difficult questions facing us today is that of the proper attitude toward possessions.In wealthy nations such as Britain and the USA, individuals accumulate much and yet are daily exposed to the plight of the poor, whether the homeless on their own city streets or starving children on their TV screens. What action should they take on behalf of the poor? What should they do with their own possessions?In Neither Poverty nor Riches Craig Blomberg asks what the Bible has to say to these issues. He avoids easy answers, and instead seeks a comprehensive biblical theology of possessions. Beginning with the groundwork laid by the Old Testament and the ideas developed in the intertestamental period, he draws out what the whole New Testament has to say on the subject and finally offers conclusions and applications relevant to the modern world.This is a book that all concerned with issues of poverty and wealth should read.
