This is a good book, of value to students in a variety of areas: ancient history, theology, and economics. It brings together a wide range of information and theoretical comment from others, with sufficient of Holman's own to challenge and stimulate.

Journal of Theological Studies

An excellent study ... very sensitive and perceptive.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review

This study examines the theme of poverty in the fourth-century sermons of Basil of Caesarea, Gregory Nazianzen, and Gregory Nysson. These sermons are especially important for what they tell us about the history of poverty relief and the role of fourth century Christian theology in constructing the body of the redemptive, involuntary poor. Some of the topics explored include the contextualization of the poor in scholarship, the poor in late antiquity, and starvation and famine dynamics. In exploring this relationship between cultural context and theological language, this volume offers a broad and fresh overview of these little-studied texts.
