Bell approaches capitalism and Christianity as alternative visions of humanity, God, and the good life. Considering faith and economics in terms of how desire is shaped, he casts the conflict as one between different disciplines of desire. He engages the work of two important postmodern philosophers, Deleuze and Foucault, to illuminate the nature of the postmodern world that the church currently inhabits. Bell then considers how the global economy deforms desire in a manner that distorts human relations with God and one another. In contrast, he presents Christianity and the tradition of the works of mercy as a way beyond capitalism and socialism, beyond philanthropy and welfare. Christianity heals desire, renewing human relations and enabling communion with God. -- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Economics $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Consumption (Economics) $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Desire $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Postmodernism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 830 0 $a Church and postmodern culture. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204063716.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110045644.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105022314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38CC34400AF111E39305B8A1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
