In three parts — modeled as a courtroom case, complete with evidence, exhibits, and a verdict — this book cross-examines the "Virtue of Poverty," the centuries-old assumption that God is somehow more pleased by less.
It calls the correctly read, historically grounded life of Jesus Christ to the stand: a Rabbi born into a commercial family with taxable assets, trained as a master contractor on the doorstep of a construction boom, headquartered on a major trade route, and backed by a syndicate of wealthy patrons — never once the impoverished wanderer religious tradition has painted Him as.
— and it's costing them more than they realize.
