Overview

Written by a current Temple University Graduate student of Religion, political scientist, and ordained Elder with nearly a decade of experience as a religious leader, Capitalist Theology is not a book based on conjectures but scholarly research and observation. Capitalist Theology explores how the Church lost its relevance and, more importantly, how it can regain it. In this book, you will discover how Capitalist ideology corrupted the Church and caused its members, both leaders, and laity, to become self-interested by abandoning Christ's example of selfless service in favor of a gospel-driven by consumerism. This theology is not limited to prosperity and positivity preaching, but it influences every aspect of Church culture from governance to the worship experience itself.Capitalist Theology is a critical examination of contemporary Church culture that is not afraid to challenge the status quo. It examines how American Christianity has been and continues to be, used as a means to oppress the very people whom Christ said he came to liberate. It challenges the reader to rethink what it means to be a Christian in a consumer-driven society. Capitalist Theology makes the social gospel, as taught by Jesus, a point of emphasis and the key to regaining relevance. This book is not merely a critique of modern church culture but also a call to action for Christians to regain the self-sacrificing spirit lost once Capitalism became its doctrine.
