{"product_id":"neoliberalism-and-the-biblical-voice-paul-babie-9781138902992","title":"Neoliberalism and the Biblical Voice: Owning and Consuming","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book compares our contemporary preoccupation with ownership and consumption with the role of property and possessions in the biblical world, contending that Christian theology provides a valuable entry point to discussing the issue of private property--a neoliberal tool with the capacity to shape the world in which we live by exercising control over the planet's resources. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBabie and Trainor draw on the teaching on property and possessions of Jesus of Nazareth. They demonstrate how subsequent members of the Jesus movement--the writers of early collection of Jesus sayings (called 'Q'), and the gospels of Mark and Luke--reformulated Jesus' teaching for different contexts that was radical and challenging for their own day. Their view of wealth and possessions continues today to be as relevant as ever. By placing the insights of the Galilean Jesus and the early Jesus movement into conversation with contemporary views on private property and consumer culture, the authors develop legal, philosophical and theological insights, what they describe as 'seven theses', into how our desire for ethical living fares in the neoliberal marketplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Babie,Michael Trainor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138902993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138902992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Paul Babie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065379270911,"sku":"9781138902992","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b06402f2-68c2-407d-b9ac-135367260742.jpg?v=1768674801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neoliberalism-and-the-biblical-voice-paul-babie-9781138902992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
