Bøker av Susan R. Holman

An ecumenical roster of leading specialists approach wealth and poverty through the theology, social practices, and institutions of early Christianity.

Susan R. Holman examines the theme of poverty in the fourth-century sermons of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory Nazianzen, and Gregory Nysson. These sermons are especially important for what they tell us about the history of poverty relief and the role of fourth century Christian theology in constructing the body of the redemptive, involuntary poor.
