Fear of Beggars: Stewardship and Poverty in Christian EthicsWhy, asks Kelly Johnson, does Christian ethics so rarely tackle the real life question of whether to give to beggars?

Why, asks Kelly Johnson, does Christian ethics so rarely tackle the real-life question of whether to give to beggars? Examining both classical economics and Christian stewardship ethics as reactions to medieval debates about the role of mendicants in the church and in wider society, Johnson reveals modern anxiety about dependence and humility as well as the importance of Christian attempts to rethink property relations in ways that integrate those qualities. She studies the rhetoric and thought of Christian thinkers, beggar saints, and economists from throughout history, placing greatest emphasis on the life and work of Peter Maurin, a cofounder of the Catholic Worker movement. Challenging and thought-provoking, The Fear of Beggars will move Christian economic ethics into a richer, more involved discussion.

Love these. Good quality. Wore these to the beach and in the water on vacation and also wear them several days weekly to local pool. Very comfortable.

Wide toe box
The color is pretty on these water shoes. The toe box on these shoes is wide which collects water making it difficult to use them walking for exercise in the water. I bought these specifically to keep my feet protected. The sole is the perfect thickness needed but can’t use them for what they were bought for.

Good and affordable
Size: 6-7 Women/5-6 Men, Color: 1a-stripe Black-2
Pretty good and effective for the price! I wore these to volcano bay in Orlando and they got the job done. While these water shoes have great comfort, traction, versatility, and water resistance, they don’t have a lot of support on the sides of the shoe. They also are tight/snug around the ankles. Theyre very lightweight and can bend and fit in a fanny pack or purse, but if you’re looking for a supportive water shoe, these aren’t it. But if you need something to just get the job done so you can have fun, these are it!

Solid and comfy
Size: Medium, Color: Black (001)/Jet Gray
Absolutely love these sports bras. They’re simple and solid, and I love the colors! They do run small, so I’m glad I sized up. I’m usually a small, but got a medium and they fit perfectly. For reference I’m 5’5”, 125lbs, 34B. They wash well too! Just make sure to air dry them and wash on cold only.
