Always with Us?: What Jesus Really Said about the PoorA strong theological call for ending the abomination of systemic poverty Jesus's words "the poor you will always have with you" (Matthew 26: 11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible, that poverty is a result of moral failures, and that the poor themselves have no role in changing their situation.

A strong theological call for ending the abomination of systemic poverty

Jesus's words "the poor you will always have with you" (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible, that poverty is a result of moral failures, and that the poor themselves have no role in changing their situation. In this book Liz Theoharis examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how that passage is taken out of context, distorted, and politicized to justify theories about the inevitability of inequality.

Theoharis reinterprets "the poor you will always have with you" to show that it is actually one of the strongest biblical mandates to end poverty. She documents stories of poor people themselves organizing to improve their lot and illuminates the implications for the church. Poverty is not inevitable, Theoharis argues. It is a systemic sin, and all Christians have a responsibility to partner with the poor to end poverty once and for all.

Great, snug on arms if you have bigger arms
Color: Red Navy Gingham, Size: Large
I had no issues with the fit as it was true to size. Large is snug on the arms if you have bigger arms.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Great Fit and Style for Casual Nights Out
Color: Navy Gingham, Size: Large
Use case: Casual wear, transitional weather 👕 Fit & Feel I’m really impressed with the cut of this shirt — it’s slim fit, but still relaxed and comfortable enough for casual settings. I prefer to wear it untucked, and it lays just right for a clean, stylish look. 🎨 Style & Material Color and pattern are on point, making it versatile for evenings out. The high cotton content feels soft, though I’ve avoided using a dryer to prevent shrinkage. Fabric is breathable and suitable for transitional weather — not too heavy, not too light. ✅ Final Thoughts Overall, this is a stylish and comfortable shirt that looks great and fits well for taller builds. I’d definitely order more in different patterns.

Nice color, lightweight, but runs small
Color: Blue Gingham, Size: Large
Nice cookie and can be work tucked or untucked. The material isn’t best quality but it’s about as expected for a shirt this price range. The size runs small so buy a size up from what you normally do. Expect some shrinkage is well. Otherwise it’s a nice shirt!

Not the best fit
Color: Navy Gingham, Size: XX-Large
I like the design and color of the shirt. It runs small, I went up a whole size and the shoulder width is still a little tight. The fabric is also has small fibers all over it.
