Sarah Dylan Breuer looks at readings for the coming Sunday in the lectionary

| "This chief tax
collector, who receives only disdain from his neighbors, is actually
far more generous and intentional about doing justice than is the
respectable ruler of Luke 18:18-25." |

Exegesis,
Proper 26C, by
Richard Donovan at lectionary.org.
| "If [Zacchaeus] is, indeed,
guilty of substantial fraud, his offer of four-fold restitution will
impoverish him. He will have voluntarily done what Jesus asked of the
rich ruler (18:18-27)." |

brave and ask yourself - what criticisms could people make about you - as
good reasons why Jesus shouldn't come?
How would you stand your ground - what response would you make to the
criticism?" |

"Zacchaeus
and the Future of the Church," by David Wade in Sojourners.
| "This is how Church of the Saviour has
always operated: A called person--someone with a sense of how to live out
their piece of God's dream for creation--will move in an unlikely faith to
create transformative structures, to express God's love for all of us, to
offer an alternative culture that some call the Reign of God." |

Story of Zacchaeus," analysis and reflection by Ed Schroeder, in Sabbatheology

"short of" in his life?" |

the Taxed," analysis and reflections by Mike Hoy, in Sabbatheology by The

| "Maybe a constant factor of life
is that whatever you do (or say), there is probably somebody out there who hates you for
it--which can make working an up-hill battle, perhaps a place where one would prefer to
remain lost in the crowd." |

"Global Poverty: Beyond Utopian Visions," Thomas E. Phillips, (other resources at)
"Global Wealth," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian
Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
| "The crisis of
poverty in the world’s largest cities, which is growing
exponentially worse in the new era of globalization, should
overwhelm us. However, it should not paralyze us. Scripture may not
offer an easy answer, but it does provide a consistent moral
imperative." |

"How Unclean Were Tax Collectors?" Hyam Maccoby, Biblical Theology
Bulletin, 2001.
| "Disapproval of tax-collectors was on
moral, not ritual-purity grounds, since they acted corruptly and
oppressively. The case of the repentant tax-collector Zachaeus and his
offer of reparation can be fully understood through rabbinic parallels." |
|
| "The
Tension between Poverty and Possessions in the Gospel of Luke,"
John Sheila Galligan, Spirituality Today, Spring 1985.
| "No fanatic about renunciation
of possessions, Jesus nevertheless warned us that they could hinder
our being open to the Kingdom and that we have to use them for
others welfare." |
