In his most recent book, Jesus, Revolutionary of the Poor: Matthew’s Subversive Messiah, Quaker prison chaplain and Bible scholar Mark Bredin presents Friends and the wider Christian church with the uncompromising message of Matthew’s Gospel.

Jesus, Revolutionary of the Poor reveals a God who identifies with the poor, the weak and the sick, and calls his followers to reject greed and selfishness in favour of unconditional generosity and service. The ‘non-poor’ (those who have more than what’s required to meet essential needs) are called to serve and share with those who have little or nothing.
