Description Author Information Reviews

Biblical and extra-biblical sources provide a variety of insights into human approaches to the acquisition of and relation to riches in antiquity. For, while every person and society require certain provisions for survival, humans mostly desire to have more. In this volume, the contributors unpack the ambiguous approaches to wealth and riches in texts from the Hebrew Bible, Greco-Roman Jewish texts, Greek philosophical discourses and poetry, the New Testament, and the Early Church.
