About the Title: They have always been with us. From the glory days of ancient Rome to
the high-tech decadence of modern America, from the Protestant
Reformation to the Industrial Revolution, from the golden age to the
space age, they have always haunted our cities and our consciences.
They exist on the fringes, taking meals and shelter when and where they
can. They always have. It's just that now there are more of them. As
many as three million of these dispossessed souls crowd into tent
cities, abandoned warehouses, vermin-infested public shelters, and
skid-row back alleys today.
So, what can be done?
The United Nations has designated
1987 as the International Year of the Homeless to draw attention to
this looming crisis and to propose some solutions - more governmental
control, centralization of the economy, and the abolition of private
property.
George Grant has a better idea. In The Dispossessed,
he asserts that the solutions to homelessness can be found in the
Bible, and he describes what those solutions are in a practical,
understandable, compelling style.
Very simply, no one has ever
written a book on homelessness and social policy like this. Grant is
passionate and personal. He is thorough and forthright. He is sensitive
and Scriptural. He has done for poverty and social welfare what John
Whitehead has done for law and what Francis Schaeffer has done for
Christian activism. And best of all, he has given us a literary feast
as well.
