The Hungry are Dying: Beggars and Bishops in Roman Cappadocia - Oxford Studies in Historical Theology
Susan R. Holman
Susan R. Holman 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.
