About This Book
Wealth in Ancient Ephesus studies the teachings on riches in 1 Timothy in light of first-century Ephesian life and culture.
Dr. Gary G. Hoag introduces Ephesiaca by Xenophon of Ephesus as overlooked ancient evidence that helps readers better understand the world of wealthy Ephesians.
Using socio-rhetorical interpretation, the book examines five passages in 1 Timothy connected to wealth, women, greed, slavery, false teaching, and rich believers. It offers fresh scholarly insight into money, status, godliness, and faithful stewardship in the early Christian setting. Together, these studies show how ancient context can clarify biblical instruction for faithful communities today.
