| Description: |
Biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann challenges readers to rethink poverty not as a result of individual failure, but as a consequence of deeply embedded social and structural forces. Drawing on biblical teachings, the book explores how communities of faith have often overlooked systemic injustice while emphasizing personal responsibility and charitable giving.
Brueggemann argues that Scripture calls for something far more transformative: a commitment to neighborliness, justice, and restoration rooted in God?s vision for human flourishing. Examining themes such as Jubilee, economic equity, and communal responsibility, this concise yet powerful work invites churches and individuals to move beyond charity toward meaningful social change.
This book is thought-provoking and accessible, and offers a compelling biblical framework for understanding poverty and responding faithfully to the challenges of inequality in today?s world. |
