The Anti-Greed Gospel - Why the...

Malcolm Foley

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
 
 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
 
 
 
Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.
