Product Description
In this collection of essays, sixteen evangelical scholars and teachers consider the dilemma of poverty in modern America. Brought together by a Bauman Foundation grant under Evangelicals for Social Action sponsorship, they address the historical, political, and economic issues involved in this pervasive social problem. The authors also bring Christian principles to bear on their analysis of povertys root causes, on their consideration of policies that have been adopted or proposed, and on their own responses. Practical suggestions for concrete action are offered that warrant the consideration of churches, charitable agencies, and politicians. This book will appeal to professors, students, church and denominational leaders, and all who are concerned about public policy issues in America.
