Dewi Hughes' conviction is that the suffering through poverty of such a vast number of people in our day is overwhelmingly the result of the misuse of power by others. Hence, the underlying theme of this wide-ranging, challenging study is that poverty has to do with the way in which we human beings use and abuse the power God gave us when he created us.

Commendations

"In this volume, Dewi Hughes writes compellingly on a matter of compelling importance. We are grateful to him; but true gratitude must be shown by our willingness to tread the path of biblically informed discipleship. I am glad to commend this volume warmly." Stephen Williams, Union Theological College

"It is thoroughly biblical, comprehensive, and with a clear central focus on the person, teaching and work of Christ. Dewi Hughes builds on some of my own work in biblical ethics, and makes it much more accessible with lots of practical and up-to-date application." Christopher J. H. Wright, Langham Partnership International
