 Longenecker has written a helpful and informed study; Bauckham calls it "important" and "realistic." I found convincing his argument for Paul's concern for the poor and his case for a larger middling class (although perhaps not as large as 42%). The text (316 pp.) concludes with 3 appendices (of which the first is technical but essential reading), the best comprehensive bibliography on this topic, and indexes of ancient and modern authors.
Combining historical, exegetical, and theological interests, Bruce Longenecker here dispels the widespread notion that Paul had little or no concern for the poor. Longnecker’s analysis of Greco-Roman poverty provides the backdrop for a compelling presentation of the importance of care for the poor within Paul’s theology and the Jesus-groups he had established. Along the way, Longenecker calls into question a variety of interpretive paradigms -- such as Steven J. Friesen’s 2004 poverty scale -- and offers a fresh vision in which Paul’s theological resources are shown to be both historically significant and theologically challenging.
