Abstract
This article examines ethical issues in the Gospel of Luke related to status reversal and the proper use of wealth and other resources in the reign of God. It first examines the social hierarchy and imperial culture of Luke’s earliest reading communities, and then presents Luke 14 as an example of how Jesus’ teachings in Luke challenge the socioeconomic status quo in both the first century and the twenty-first century.
