Paul does not talk about the poor as a category of people. His letters contain no blessing of the poor—even the poor in spirit. There are no parables encouraging believers to give food to the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, or to give clothes to the naked (see Matt 25:31–46). There is no definition of true religion consisting of the care of widows and orphans (Jas 1:27). Is the apostle then unconcerned with the disenfranchised, the vulnerable, the “least of these”?
