What Does the Bible Say about Wealth | Interviewing Craig Blomberg

Lecture Title - Neither Poverty Nor Riches

What exactly does the Bible teach about material possessions? What does faithful New Testament stewardship entail, since it's not a tithe? What does generous, sacrificial giving look like in an area as wealthy as Chicago's North Shore-for individuals? for churches? for a seminary? Craig Blomberg doesn't pretend to have all the answers but he has lived here, gone to seminary here, and, more recently, studied and written a lot about a biblical theology of possessions, especially in his book, "Neither Poverty nor Riches" (Inter-Varsity Press, 1999), and in his Bible study guide for individuals and groups, "Heart, Soul and Money" (College Press, 2000).

Craig L. Blomberg (PhD University of Aberdeen) is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Denver Seminary. He is author, co-author or co-editor of twenty-six books, including Can We Still Believe the Bible? An Evangelical Engagement with Contemporary Questions (Brazos Press, 2014), A New Testament Theology (Baylor University Press, 2018), and Jesus the Purifier: The Fourth Gospel and the Fourth Quest for the Historical Jesus (Baker Academic, 2023).

The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
