Plough Quarterly No. 36 - Money: What Is Money For? - Paperback

by Eugene Vodolazkin (Author), Clare Coffey (Author), Eugene McCarraher (Author)
Main Description: This issue opens with the story of Melania and her real estate-magnate husband, who decide to divest themselves of their entire wealth. These early Christians, who sold off their many estates and freed eight thousand slaves,
were only exceptional in the amount they gave away. Jesus, after all, had advised a rich man, "Go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor." And he emphatically warned that you cannot serve two masters: you cannot serve God and money. What does that
mean for Christians today, in a society and economy premised on the accumulation of capital? How can we resist and subvert the power of money?
On this theme:
- Clare Coffey looks at how multilevel marketing commodifies

becomes a homeless shelter.

love.

seventy years after it began. - Jack Bell revisits William Cobbett's spirited defense of the
