How should Christians live in a material world Should personal guilt accompany financial success Is wealth incompatible with true Christianity InnbspThe Good of AffluencenbspJohn R Schneider reopens the debate over the proper Christian attitude toward money arguing ultimately that Scripture does indeed provide support for the responsible possession of wealth This is a provocative book of Christian theology written to help people seeking God in a culture that has grown from modern capitalism By comparing classic Christian teaching on wealth with the realities of our modern economic world Schneider challenges the common presumption that material affluence is inherently bad Careful interpretation of Scripture narratives creation exodus exile and more also shows that abundance is the condition that God envisions for all human beings and that faithful persons of wealth are part of this plan Schneider believes that the wealthasblessing themes of the Old Testament are not to be spiritualized and do not run contrary to New Testament teachings but provide exactly the frame of reference for the incarnate identity life and teaching of Jesus who came to make real the messianic feast both in this age and in the age to come Through insightful engagement with the biblical text Schneider overturns some of the most cherished and unquestioned assumptions of influential Christian writers particularly Ronald Sider on modern capitalist affluence Yet Schneiders message is also finely balanced with the need for responsible Christian living He offers rich Christians biblical affirmation but also challenges them to a life shaped by an uncommon sense of stewardship and compassion Incisive thoughtprovoking and biblically groundednbspThe Good of Affluencenbspis a superb resource for anyone students professors businesspeople general readers discussion groups wishing to grapple seriously with the subject of faith and wealth nbsp
