His letters deal with real people as they lived their Christian lives in the Greco-Roman world. He finds it necessary to address \"those who are rich in this present world\" (1 Tim 6:17). But he also has to address those do not want to work, for whatever reason, and are \"idle and disruptive\" (2 Thess 3:6). Moreover, whereas most churches today have a certain socio-economic homogeneity, some of Paul's churches had a combination of upper class wealthy people and lower class slaves worshiping side-by-side, and it inevitably created friction (esp. 1 Cor 11:17-34).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the past twenty years a significant amount of research has been done on class-consciousness in the Greco-Roman world and on the significance of Paul's fund-raising venture \"for the poor among the Lord's people in Jerusalem\"--\"the collection\"--for his ministry. Relying on the surprising results of current Pauline scholarship and a careful exegesis of a variety of New Testament texts, this book offers a thorough investigation of the apostle Paul's sayings and dealings with money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Verlyn Verbrugge, Keith R.
