Christianity Incorporated [PDF ebook] 
How Big Business is Buying the Church

Supporto

These days ‘getting religion’ is generally considered a rather quaint thing of the past. ‘Getting spirituality, ‘ on the other hand, is the hottest thing on the market. In fact, corporate-sponsored spiritual salve is becoming the most popular prescription for the overworked and soul-weary employees. But for many Christians, this antidote has become its own epidemic. How is this epidemic infecting the church? How should the church respond as a community of believers?
According to authors Michael Budde and Robert Brimlow, the church must resist becoming the ‘chaplain to capitalism.’ Christianity Incorporated reminds us that Christ-centered discipleship is fundamentally at odds with consumer capitalist priorities. The church must have a mission and a voice in society that is distinct from, rather than in chorus with, watered-down corporate spirituality.
Christianity Incorporated is a wake-up call for all Christians. Courageous, current, and accessible, this book will provide guidance and insight to anyone concerned with pursuing Christian discipleship in our consumer culture.
