![The Politics of a Name—Luke 16:19-31 (Fritz Wendt)](https://politicaltheology.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/16-09-25-Rich-Man-and-Lazarus-600x600.jpg)
Jesus’ story of the Rich Man and Lazarus is a challenging account of the one neglected at the gate, who ends up being exalted, while the one at ease within is cast out. This story has a particular contemporary resonance in the context of the recent events surrounding the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
