For Christians seeking wisdom on financial issues

Offers faith-based insights on economic crises

You will find guidance for navigating money matters

An Idol Unmasked explores the intersection of faith and finance during economic crises.
The financial crisis of 2007/8 was predicted by former bishop Peter Selby in his seminal book Grace and Mortgage, which offered a compelling theological case for the cancellation of debt. Yet most of the responses and proposed remedies to the current crisis involve debt of one sort another. Where is the voice of faith in today's critical debates? An Idol Unmasked offers a brilliant new critique of what money becomes when you allow its principal creators to be private companies rather than the sovereign authority. Within that exploration are expositions of parables and fundamental Christian doctrines which show that there is wisdom within the Christian tradition suited to reflection on money, as well as proposals for remedies and for action by Christians and by churches.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is a book that really digs into the thorny issue of money in rigorous biblical detail. This makes it at times uncomfortable to read but also incredibly necessary and important to read. This content in this book doesn’t alter regardless of if you consider yourself rich or poor, good with money or bad with it. This is because some of what comes out most clearly in this book, I thought, was that the reality is that for our society there is no way to avoid the poorly hidden reality that we all serve money and are worshipers of it even if we don’t really think som and even if in some ways that might be unwittingly… A brilliant book and keenly insightful and deeply theological and yet accessible to all readers. This is not light reading (and a bigger font may have helped make the reading experience easier!) but it is good writing on a very key subject.
