Jesus and the Politics of Mammon, Paperback / softback Book

Jesus and the Politics of Mammon Paperback / softback

Part of the Critical Theory and Biblical Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

In Jesus and the Politics of Mammon, Phelps uses contemporary critical theory, continental philosophy, and theology to develop a radical reading of Jesus.

Phelps argues that theological traditions have on the whole blunted Jesus' teachings, particularly in regard to money and related concerns of political economy.

Focusing on the distinction between God and Mammon, Phelps suggests instead that Jesus' teachings result in a politics that is anti-money, anti-work, and anti-family.

Although Jesus does not provide a specific program for this politics, his teachings incite readers to think otherwise with respect to these institutions.
