by Zhenya Gurina-Rodríguez (Author)

In Begging for Their Daily Bread, Zhenya Gurina-Rodriguez formulates a beggars-centric hermeneutic and interprets Matthew 6 through this lense, arguing that this text could be both engaging and alienating to beggars in the first-century Jesus movement. Gurina-Rodriguez also reconstructs the voices of beggars in antiquity that are often absent from academic discourse.
