Baptizing Mammon

Baptizing Mammon explores the history of the American church's silence on economic inequality, tracing how it shifted from early Christian teachings condemning greed to a modern alignment with wealth and capitalism, often supported by corporate funding. The book reveals the church's traditional stance on charity and justice, drawing from ancient scriptures and theologians, and examines how these perspectives have been quieted over time. It offers a thoughtful engagement with both historical and contemporary debates about faith and economic justice, encouraging readers to reconsider what the church has historically stood for in the face of wealth and poverty.
