Was Jesus poor? What crossed your mind? The donkey, turtledoves, or pigeons? Unsurprisingly, you most likely believe Jesus was poor. That common belief is refuted by Leavell's engaging and sometimes humorous narratives about neighborhoods, education, material substance, and money. The author takes you on a journey through social classes that will leave you enlightened and astonished.

The Biblical Middle Class and Even the Filthy Rich sheds light on the social classes of Christ's time and is the culmination of the truths that Leavell has uncovered about many sensational claims that scholars and laity have peddled for generations. For example, was Jesus a beggar? Was He born in a stable? Was He illiterate? Leavell's provocative opinions about these and many other claims are supported by biblical, historical, Talmudic, and archaeological data. The Biblical Middle Class and Even the Filthy Rich presents fresh and fascinating insights into a very old and belabored debate. 423 pages
