Sobre este e-book
ecclesiastical documents have stressed the urgency of world hunger and put in
the foreground its natural and historical causes, from famine to global
austerity measures and warfare. Here biblical scholars take readings of the Old
and New Testaments, exploring the dynamics of hunger and its causation in
ancient Israel and the Greco-Roman world and revealing the centrality of hunger
concerns to the Bible.
