520 |a In Luke 16.9, Jesus instructs his followers to make use of ‘dishonest’ or ‘unrighteous’ wealth. The problem for biblical interpreters is that Jesus appears to order his followers to be unrighteous in this regard. However, this is to misunderstand what Luke is doing with the word ‘unrighteous’. He does not use this word to qualify some particular wealth, but to emphasize that all wealth is unrighteous and therefore needs to be spent wisely and quicky to do good in the world. Holding onto it is bad for the soul.
