| Description: | "All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor" (Gal 2:10). In this course, we will work to remember the poor in the ancient world, working mostly with Jewish and Christian texts from antiquity, before thinking about contemporary initiatives to address poverty. We will consider the legal traditions regarding poverty in the Hebrew Bible, the economic context of the early Jesus movement, the Roman economy, the Pauline "collection", the institutionalization of alms giving, the moral and theological significance given to wealth and poverty, and the economic language used to structure theological concepts like salvation. |
