In this book, Craig Blomberg addresses the tough questions about the place and purpose of wealth and material possessions in a Christian’s life. He points to the goodness of wealth, as God originally designed it, but also surveys the Bible’s many warnings against making an idol out of money. So are material possessions a blessing for which we should long? And what are the dangers that the use or abuse of material possessions can produce? Blomberg expounds upon how the sharing of goods and possessions is the key safeguard against both greed and covetousness. He expands on the concept of giving generously, even sacrificially, to those who are needier, demonstrating how Christians can participate in God’s original good design for abundance and demonstrate the world-altering gospel of Christ.

I read this in preparation for a three-day workshop I was to lead on the topic of wealth and stewardship in the New Testament, and Craig Blomberg's book was of immense value for this task. I am deeply impressed with his bi-testamental grasp of this subject and his boldness in proclaiming, quite faithfully in my estimation, the ways in which the NT voices "raise the stakes" on stewardship for Christ-followers beyond the concept of the (multiple) tithe of the OT. Blomberg's family's own example is also deeply challenging. David deSilva
