This book gathers scholars from the three major monotheistic
religions to discuss the issue of poverty and wealth from the
varied perspectives of each tradition. It provides a cadre of
values inherent to the sacred texts of Jews, Christians, and
Muslims and illustrates how these values may be used to deal with
current economic inequalities. Contributors use the methodologies
of religious studies to provide descriptions and comparisons of
perspectives from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam on poverty and
wealth. The book presents citations from the sacred texts of all
three religions. The contributors discuss the interpretations of
these texts and the necessary contexts, both past and present, for
deciphering the stances found there. Poverty and Wealth in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam identifies and details a foundation of
common values upon which individual and institutional decisions may
be made.
