Why do 1.3 billion people live in abject poverty? And what should Christians do about it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite a dramatic reduction in world hunger, 34,000 children still die daily of starvation and preventable disease, and 1.3 billion people around the world remain in abject poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Ron Sider, a professor of theology, examines the issues of poverty and hunger in modern society. While the Bible is full of instructions to care for the poor and warns against being seduced by riches, it’s been statistically proven that the richer countries become, the less they give. Finding that conservatives blame what they consider to be morally reprehensible individual choices, and liberals blame what they believe to be constrictive social and economic policy, Dr. Sider finds himself agreeing with both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1978, \u003cem\u003eRich Ch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Nelson Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767952638295,"sku":"9780718037048","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780718037048.jpg?v=1758715654","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/rich-christians-in-an-age-of-hunger-9780718037048","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
