The Divine Commodity: Discovering a Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity

by Skye Jethani

The Divine Commodity: Discovering a Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Consumerism, which has invaded the church, has created a culture that values style over substance and image over reality. But through Scripture, history, engaging narrative, and the inspiring art of Vincent van Gogh, Skye Jethani explores an alternative vision of faith that liberates us to live as Christ's people in a culture opposed to his kingdom.

Synopsis:

The human imagination is the key battleground in the conflict between the kingdom of God and the consumer culture. Drawing from the vivid imaginations of Impressionist painters, particularly Vincent van Gogh, each chapter of The Divine Commodity uses personal narrative, biblical exposition, and cultural observation to show how consumerism has shaped our faith, and then challenges the reader to use their sanctified imagination to envision an alternative way of expressing the Christian life in our culture.
