Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger

Book • 2010
Ron Sider's "Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger" is a powerful critique of the prosperity gospel and its implications for global poverty.

Sider argues that the church's wealth and affluence stand in stark contrast to the suffering of millions worldwide.

He challenges Christians to examine their lifestyles and consumption habits, urging them to live more simply and generously.

The book explores the biblical basis for social justice and calls for a radical reorientation of priorities, emphasizing the importance of alleviating poverty and promoting global equity.

Sider's work has been influential in shaping discussions about the church's role in addressing social and economic inequalities.
