Brand Jesus : Christianity In A Consumerist Age
$33.26
* Expanding on ground covered by Jim Wallis, Ronald Sider, Mark Noll, and others, Brand Jesus will appeal to politically interested readers.
* Provocative nature of Stevenson?s argument will generate strong word of mouth. Likely both positive and negative.
* Author has strong contracts throughout the American Baptist Church and the Episcopal Church.
* Has appeal across denominational lines.
American evangelical faith has been corrupted by a series of forces at work in America-consumerism, the economy, and American politics-and has become idolatrous. Using Paul’s letter to the Romans as a starting point, Stevenson ‘reads’ the letter to today?s American church.
With provocative discussions of Christian hypocrisy, megachurches, the ways in which Christian ideas are distressingly combined with private property and market-driven economics, the blurring boundaries between law and religion, and other topics, Stevenson offers an analysis of where the American church finds itself, and how that place is quite different from that which Paul wrote of. He seeks to answer the question; in this age of consumerism and politicization of religion, how will the church reject the idolatry of Jesus as brand, and embrace Him as He asked to be?
