By Christopher M. Hays

The subject matter of wealth is without doubt one of the perennial scorching themes in Lukan interpretation, as students have usually stumbled on Luke's teachings at the right use of wealth to be intractably self-contradictory. Christopher M. Hays addresses the plain incongruity in Luke's moral paraenesis. Alternately disputing and drawing upon past debts of Lukan wealth ethics, he argues that Luke's Gospel narrates a spectrum of behaviors which actualize the elemental precept of renunciation of all. project a narrative-critical, ethic description, he indicates that during Luke's Gospel the manifestation of a disciple's renunciation is determined by elements: the disciple's vocation and his or her wealth. the writer proceeds to investigate the textual content of Acts and to illustrate that Luke monitors the Jerusalem group, and to a lesser quantity, the Diaspora Church, as faithfully appropriating and enacting Jesus' teachings on possessions.
