In this significant reimagining of Weber's work, Kathryn Tanner provocatively reverses this thesis, arguing that Christianity can offer a direct challenge to the largely uncontested growth of capitalism. Exploring the cultural forms typical of the current finance-dominated system of capitalism, Tanner shows how they can be countered by Christian beliefs and practices with a comparable person-shaping capacity. Addressing head-on the issues of economic inequality, structural under- and unemployment, and capitalism's unstable boom/bust cycles, she draws deeply on the theological resources within Christianity to imagine anew a world of human flourishing. This book promises to be one of the most important theological books in recent years. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211015258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EFA360E462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
