When Did I See You Hungry? is a photographic and textual meditation on the plight of the poor, documenting their life in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, India, Jamaica, the Philippines, Kenya and Brazil. The numerous photographs and text -- by the author and by spiritual writers of many different faiths -- tell the heart-breaking story of the homeless and poor while challenging and encouraging us to help feed the hungry among us. Documentary filmmaker and author Gerard Thomas Straub spent months living among the poor, gathering their stories and his impressions in a startling and disquieting series of intensely personal, black-and-white photographs. Mr. Straub uses the camera as an instrument of contemplation, and his photographs allow us to see more closely things we know about but are not attentive to. More than just recording the agony of life in the slums, Mr. Straub's photographs capture the hidden humanity of the poor, their spirit of joy and will to survive. Book jacket.

In the first century, endemic food shortages left 25 percent of the population below subsistence level and another 30 percent at risk of slipping below subsistence. In the face of such serious food shortages, the Gospel of Matthew advocates for a society in which all people can have access to sufficient food. Matthew critiques first-century practices and attitudes of both aristocrats and peasants that helped or hindered that goal. It does this by depicting Jesus teaching and performing positive practices that provided the Matthean community with an example to emulate, as well as condemning some negative practices and attitudes. For I Was Hungry and You Gave Me Food provides a pragmatic lens and a new descriptive paradigm of food access in the first century. The perspective and model are useful for analyzing passages concerned with life-and-death issues of the Matthean community--or situations for any other Christian community, past or present. Should not every person have enough food to sustain physical life?
