Robert L. Plummer 
Rich in Good Deeds [EPUB ebook] 
A Biblical Response to Poverty by the Church and by Society

Supporto

The church is called to be a ‘city on a hill, ‘ to be ‘rich in good deeds, ‘ and especially so to the poor. How has the church fared in this task historically, and how might we heed this calling better in today’s societies? The contributors in this book believe that the Scriptures and our early Christian forerunners can help us understand more clearly how to engage with economics, poverty, and wealth to the end that the church better serves the poor. Readers will encounter a breadth of topics including exegesis and themes of biblical passages, early Christian economic ethics, the prospects of Universal Basic Income, the role of almsgiving, and economic thoughts from Christians of earlier eras. If we are to serve the poor, we ought to do so thoughtfully and effectively, and these chapters will aid the reader toward that end.
