Description

This book starts with questions concerning Luke's idea of the relationship between wealth and discipleship.

Previous attempts have not succeeded in reconciling the ideas of wealth and poverty with the theme of discipleship in Luke's theology.

This failure motivates Kim to investigate a new paradigm, namely stewardship.

Reviewing the wide range of material regarding wealth and poverty in Luke-Acts, he concludes that for Luke a proper way for Christians as stewards to use their wealth is almsgiving in the interests of the poor and needy inside and outside the community.
