Publisher's Note
Recognizing the lack of sophistication and creativity in our civic dialogue, editor David Gushee and fifteen other Christian scholars have accomplished what church and government leaders are so often unable to honestly grapple with a complex societal issue (in this case poverty) with a view toward creating solutions that work. The contributors share "the conviction that empowerment equipping persons and families for maximum participation in the abundance of economic life lies at the heart of the biblical economic ethic." Particularly refreshing is their recognition that poverty is a multidimensional problem that requires action, not just by churches, not just by government agencies, but by everyone: churches, government agencies, individuals, families, and civil society.
