Description
Reviews
Reinhard Huetter, -- Duke Divinity School "With a style as lucid as it is engaging, Christopher Franks probes by way of an astute interpretation of Aquinas's economic teachings an old revolutionary proposal -- Christian poverty. This Christ-configured 'economics' is surpassingly relevant as global capitalism is faced with a cataclysmic collapse. The greatest praise I can give this book is that its author has learned much from Dominicans past and present -- not least from Thomas Aquinas -- so much indeed that He Became Poor is suffused with the true spirit of Dominican poverty. We have much to learn from this important work."
