Opis

By placing the insights of the Galilean Jesus and the early Jesus movement into conversation with contemporary views on private property and consumer culture, the authors develop legal, philosophical and theological insights, what they describe as ‘seven theses’, into how our desire for ethical living fares in the neoliberal marketplace.

Recenzje

"Babie and Trainor bring together various fields—economics, politics, religion (biblical studies), law—to examine questions of ownership and consumption and the choices we make to use, consume, change, mold and shape the world in which we live. They challenge contemporary readers to move from a self-focus to consideration of the other for the good of all." – Warren Carter, Professor of New Testament, Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University, USA
