Description: In this transcript of the Bailey Lectures given at Berkeley in March and April 1986, one of Europe's outstanding biblical scholars presents the first major study by a biblical scholar of one of the most important and most controversial phrases in contemporary theology. These lectures present a moving and scholarly account of the biblical notion of God's love for the poor. After showing that this concept was prominent among Israel's neighbors, Lohfink examines its unique meaning in the Old and New Testaments, and its affinity to and difference from liberation theology. Second edition.
