Christ and Consumerism

Relentless consumerism characterizes the First World today. If Jesus is right that we cannot serve both God and mammon (Luke 16:13), it follows that Jesus’ followers today simply must examine their priorities in life lest we unwittingly take on the spirit of our age.

Stones for Bread: The Social Gospel and its Contemporary Legacy
