Synopsis
A bold examination of how the life and teaching of Jesus confront the economic and political order of his day—and what that means for today’s world. This collection argues that Jesus’ mission was deeply political and social, not just personal salvation, and it asks what a just economy would look like when guided by the principle of love as law.
This edition brings together lectures and excerpts that explore the gap between wealth and need, the moral costs of industrial progress, and the possibility of a society organized around equal opportunity, shared responsibility, and the dignity of every person. It treats the story of Jesus as a critique of power, property, and state alike, urging readers to rethink the purposes of civilization.
- A clear case that Jesus’ message challenged political and economic structures of his time.
- An argument that social reform depends on a new kind of conscience and community life.
- Discussion of how wealth, privilege, and power relate to justice and freedom.
- Questions about how to align personal faith with public action in pursuit of the common good.
Ideal for readers of religious history, social ethics, and modern debates about economy and justice.
