| Summary: | This work was originally a Ph.D. dissertation completed in 2008 at Emory University under the supervision of Gail O’Day. After a brief introduction the book has eight chapters, a conclusion, bibliography, and indexes for ancient sources and modern authors. A central concern of the book is the complaint that too many read the parable of the Rich Fool through a prophetic lens, which results in seeing the parable merely as a straightforward critique of avarice, and do not give enough attention to the relevance of sapiential texts and their range of opinions about the relation of possessions and death. |
