SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book explores the issues of need, poverty, and social justice in the history of the Christian tradition. The author weaves together stories from late antiquity with three conceptual paradigms that can bridge the gap between historical story and modern action : sensing need, sharing the world, and embodying sacred kingdom. She explores how personal need influences the way that we look at the world and the needs of others. She also considers several recurrent themes in religious responses to poverty and need : poverty and gender, the dilemma of justice in material distribution, ascetic models of social activism and contemplation, the language of human rights and the "common good," challenges of hospitality, and the role of liturgy in constructing a vision for restorative righteousness.
