Description
"Nothing may influence and affect the faith of Christians in the Western, "developed" world so much as consumerism. Theologians and biblical scholars have often pondered the dangers and the privileges of money. But few have focused on consumption as culture or a way of life, complete with its own set of attitudes, behaviors and purposes for living." "The Consuming Passion does exactly that, relying on insightful theologians, psychologists, sociologists, ecologists and economists to probe show more beneath and better understand what makes consumer culture work - and how people of faith might best respond."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
