Gregson, Diocese of Birmingham, UK. 330 8 $aThis innovative volume focuses on the significance of early Christianity for modern means of addressing poverty, by offering a rigorous study of deprivation and its alleviation in both earliest Christianity and today's world. The contributors seek to present the complex ways in which early Christian ideas and practices relate to modern ideas and practices, and vice versa. In this light, the book covers seven major areas of poverty and its causes, benefaction, patronage, donation, wealth and dehumanization, `the undeserving poor', and responsibility. Each area features an expert in early Christianity in its Jewish and Graeco-Roman settings, paired with an expert in modern strategies for addressing poverty and benefaction; each author engages with the same topic from their respective area of expertise, and responds to their partner's essay. Giving careful attention toboth the continuities and discontinuities between the ancient world and today, the contributors seek to inform and engage church leaders, those working in NGOs concerned with poverty, and all interested in these crucial issues, both Christian and not. 606 $aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aRELIGION / Christian Life / Social Issues$2bisacsh 606 $aRELIGION / Christianity / General$2bisacsh 606 $aChurch history$xPrimitive and early church$2fast 606 $aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$2fast 606 $aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$2fast 610 0$aAncient History (History) 610 0$aBiblical Studies - Other 610 0$aChristian Education 610 0$aChristian Life and Issues 610 0$aChurch History 610 0$aDevelopment Studies 610 0$aEarly Christianity 610 0$aEarly Modern History (History) 610 0$aEducation - Other 610 0$aEducation Studies 610 0$aEvidence 610 0$aGeneral Religion - Other 610 0$aHistory - Other (History) 610 0$aHistory of Education 610 0$aHistory of Education (History) 610 0$aHistory of Religion (History) 610 0$aModern History (History) 610 0$aSocial History (History) 610 0$aWorld History (History) 615 0$aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aChurch history 615 7$aRELIGION / Christian Life / Social Issues. 615 7$aRELIGION / Christianity / General. 615 7$aChurch history$xPrimitive and early church. 615 7$aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 7$aPoverty$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines. 676 $a261.8/25 702 $aWalton$b Steve$f1955- 702 $aSwithinbank$b Hannah 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910772099603321 996 $aPoverty in the early church and today$91912107 997 $aUNINA
