Blessed Are the Consumers

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Sallie McFague's Blessed Are the Consumers is a direct challenge to consumerist society and shows how we are all implicated. McFague brings a much needed and well developed ethic of restraint to the field of ecotheology. She calls us to move from belief to action, from denial to profound change at both personal and public levels. McFague clarifies the problems and promises of Christianity as a model that sees self and planetary flourishing as interdependent. McFague draws from a lifetime love affair with saints, a theology acumen few have acquired, and a steadfast commitment to confronting the economic roots of the planetary crisis. This is the religious call of today—we need to change—profoundly and urgently.”

Jesus Christ for Contemporary Life

Theology

“Who is Jesus today? Don Schweitzer enters the theological realm around Jesus as Christ . . . to offer an engaging Christology for contemporary challenges--that is, to make sense of Jesus in a multireligious world with complex ethical and moral challenges. Schweitzer has succeeded in presenting a Christology . . . capable of having 'saving significance' in the work of seeking justice and resisting domination amidst a plethora of plurality. Schweitzer tackles a difficult topic with grace, knowledge, and creativity.”
