| Summary: | One interested in Pauline ethics will find no shortage of masterful, even minute, discussions of topics such as sexuality, politics, Jew–Gentile relations, even slavery. But when it comes to the subject of wealth, perhaps the most prominent ethical topic in the rest of the biblical canon, the Apostle is at times said to have ignored his Messiah’s copious teachings on the proper use of money. In future years, however, such a cavalier assertion will be impossible, as Bruce Longenecker’s monograph Remember the Poor: Paul, Poverty, and the Greco-Roman World has masterfully argued that care for the needy constituted an integral part of Pauline ethics. |
