Charity - The Place of the Poor in the Biblical Tradition

Informationen zum Autor Gary A. Anderson is Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Notre Dame. His most recent book, the critically acclaimed Sin: A History, won a Christianity Today Book Award. Klappentext Contrary to the assertions of Reformation and modern critiques, belief in a heavenly treasury was not just about self-interest. Sifting through biblical and postbiblical texts, the author shows how charity affirms the goodness of the created order; the world was created through charity and therefore rewards it.
