The issue of poverty is often misunderstood, with blame placed on individuals rather than the systemic and structural factors at play.

Brueggemann challenges this narrative, urging Christians to see poverty as a communal, structural issue that requires a collective response.

Drawing on biblical mandates, especially the concept of neighbourliness, Brueggemann provides a compelling argument for why addressing systemic poverty is not just an option but a biblical imperative.

This concise yet profound book calls for a shift from charity to justice, emphasising the importance of community restoration and resistance against oppressive systems.

Ideal for church leaders, lay people, and anyone committed to social justice, this book is a timely and essential resource for those seeking to align their faith with action.
