About this book
“This is a book that comes from the heart: the heart of a scholar, teacher, friend, priest, follower of Francis of Assisi.” — Fr. John Vaughn, OFM, former Minister General
What does the Bible say about riches and poverty, and what does it mean for followers of Christ today? Michael D. Guinan, OFM, a scholar of the Old Testament, traces the theme through the Exodus and Sinai, the royal theology and the wisdom writers, the prophets and the poor, the pious poor and the community of Qumran, to Jesus and the early Christian community.
Gospel poverty, he concludes, is a witness to the risen Christ. As you follow his thought you relive the history of Israel, discover the richness of the Bible, and share in the author’s own journey of faith.
