What is Humility: Solidarity of the Humiliated. The Transformation of an Attitude and its Social Relevance in Graeco-Roman, Old Testament-Jewish and Early Christian tradition about?

In Humility: Solidarity of the Humiliated, Klaus Wengst puts this odd, ambiguous and radical idea back into theological view. Wengst offers us not so much a new look at that old virtue as a biblical study of the related though different issue of oppression, humiliation and the plight of the poor. He illustrates both the well-known fact that humility is evaluated negatively in Graeco-Roman culture and a fact which ought to be equally well-known: the positive evaluation of humility in traditional Christian ethics is firmly rooted in the Old Testament and Jewish tradition.
