Healing Affluenza and Resisting Plutocracy

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is for Christian revolutionary nerds--or, more precisely, for those who encounter God in the struggle for justice and in deep, searching engagement with the Bible. Myers's readable and learned account tracks close to the text, while setting it in the sort of wide-ranging conversation that illuminates its meaning for Jesus's time and our own. Strikingly, Myers uses movement wisdom to read the biblical text, and reads the biblical text for movement wisdom. He thus eschews easy answers (of the liberal or conservative kind), recovering instead Jesus's invitation to Sabbath Economics. I hope it will nourish and strengthen those seeking to accept it.”
