Capitalism Converts Christianity - Paperback

by Gray Fitzgerald (Author)

This book offers a theological challenge to the dominant assumptions of most Christians and churches in the twenty-first century, which simply accept the American cultural values about money. The author offers stories and mini-biographies of churches and members throughout history who have approached spending, money, and capitalism with a countercultural set of norms. In other words, the wedding of capitalism and Christianity has not always been so, and the current transformation of Christianity by capitalism must not be so now or ever! A great tool for small group study or personal use. The author is an effective preacher in the genre of Brueggemann and others who express concern about wealth's corruption on those who would be disciples of Christ.
