{"product_id":"9780802837486","title":"He Became Poor : The Poverty of Christ and Aquinas's Economic Teachings (Eerdmans Ekklesia)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing deeply on the views of Thomas Aquinas, He Became Poor challenges the modern economic tendency toward the -proprietary self- and calls for a renewed appreciation of the virtues of trusting receptivity and humble awareness of our membership in a larger benevolent order. Christopher Franks reveals how the summons to become poor bestows a new intelligibility on formerly obscure economic teachings. In the course of his discussion Franks juxtaposes Aquinas with Aristotle, John Locke, and Alasdair MacIntyre.  This book makes a provocative case for taking Aquinas's thoughts on economics more seriously and illustrates how the very market conditions of the modern world cloud any attempt to fully understand Aquinas. Franks offers a convincing argument that questioning market-formed assumptions can actually help us recover the evangelical character of Aquinas's ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William B Eerdmans Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49109934538979,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780802837486-1.jpg?v=1788353168","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/ja\/products\/9780802837486","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
