Concordia Alumna Brings Scholarly Perspective to the Human Response to Poverty

Susan R. Holman, ’76, recently published an acclaimed book, God Knows There’s Need: Christian Responses to Poverty.  In this work, Susan demonstrates that theologians in the early Christian church had their own way of sensing the needs of the poor and communicating the necessary societal response.  Susan currently serves as an academic writer and editor at the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health, where she does research and writing in early Christian studies.  She parented PovertyStudies (www.povertystudies.org), a website designed to promote dialogue between academic religious studies and social action. Susan is also author of The Hungry are Dying: Beggars and Bishops in Roman Cappadocia.
