A sociological reading of the New Testament texts continues to gain momentum. Maynard-Reid has now added an important contribution to that growing corpus which amounts to a re-reading of the text. The author is aware of the methodological problems of relating sociological theory to detailed exegesis. While the author is attentive to and knowledgeable about such theory, the book consists primarily in four careful, disciplined, tightly reasoned, fully documented exegeses. The case is carefully built to evidence a community summoned to an ethic that had dangerous public, economic implications. It is obvious that a new set of questions permits the text to have a new voice, one we must learn to hear and heed. Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus, Columbia Theological Seminary By holding the biblical text within a clear social focus, the author is able to assess soberly the merits and limitations of previous exegetical treatments of the Epistle of James. By a thoroughgoing practice of grammatical criticism, Maynard-Reid sharply illuminates the class option of this epistle on behalf of suffering Palestinian poor in the period before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. Norman K. Gottwald, Professor of Old Testament, Pacific School of Religion Pedrito U. Maynard-Reid gives us a superb introduction both to the book of James and to the sociological study of the New Testament. He argues convincingly that James comes to us from a situation of oppression and thus is united as a theology of suffering ('heidensteologie') - specifically the suffering of the poor and oppressed. Thomas Hanks, Professor of Old Testament, Seminario Biblico Latinoamericana, San Jose, Costa Rica Maynard-Reid has treated the subject thoroughly. Readers of this book will stop pushing camels through the eye of the needle. Abraham Terian, Professor of Armenian Patristics, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary, New Rochelle, New York

Overcoming the Never-Enough Mentality to Experience True Kingdom Abundance Prosperity. It's one of the most dividing words in the church. Some pastors use it to tell their congregations that God will make them all rich, rich, rich! Others spurn the word and insist that true Christlikeness is found in forsaking all worldly riches and possessions. The truth is, both are right--and both are wrong. With refreshing honesty, humor, and keen insight, bestselling author and pastor Kris Vallotton mines the Scriptures in an eye-opening study of what the Bible really says about money, poverty, riches, and wealth. And what he finds is sure to shake up what you thought you knew--including these surprising truths: · Jesus was not poor and homeless · Heaven is described in the language of wealth · Poverty is a mindset that holds us back from true wealth · You determine your wealth based on how much, and how well, you love yourself · God wants all his children to be wealthy, though not everyone should be rich Kingdom prosperity begins from the inside out. When you learn to cultivate a mindset of abundance, no matter your circumstances, you will begin to experience the wealth of heaven in every area of your life.

This study examines the theme of poverty in the fourth-century sermons of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory Nazianzen, and Gregory Nysson. These sermons are especially important for what they tell us about the history of poverty relief and the role of fourth century Christian theology in constructing the body of the redemptive, involuntary poor. Some of the topics explored include the contextualization of the poor in scholarship, the poor in late antiquity, and starvation and famine dynamics. In exploring this relationship between cultural context and theological language, this volume offers a broad and fresh overview of these little-studied texts.
