Wealth of Christians - Softcover
This book explores the sources of our current attitudes to the acquisition, possession and use of wealth. It considers Greek, Roman and Jewish traditions, as well as Christian ones, noting the contradictions they have generated. The Wealth of Christians demonstrates the evils deriving from pre-Reformation teachings on poverty and from post-Reformation doctrines of stewardship. It looks at marketing, advertising, charity, fundraising, and relationships between church and state, and observes the shifting categorires of charity's donors and recipients.
The intention, however, is not to satisfy curiosity but to define the context for the radical decisions which Christians must make today concerning wealth and poverty. Both secular and religious institutions are necessarily self-corrupting and demand continuous renewal.
