It's about greed. And it always has been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this powerful idea in \u003ci\u003eThe Anti-Greed Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e, showing how the desire for power and money--what some call \"racial capitalism\"--drives violence and exploitation across American history. In this book, you'll discover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● how greed historically gave birth to racial categories and systemic oppression, \u003cbr\u003e● the connection between economic exploitation and racial violence, \u003cbr\u003e- lessons from historical figures like Ida B. Wells on resistance and truth-telling, \u003cbr\u003e● practical steps for building communities of deep economic solidarity, and\u003cbr\u003e● biblical foundations for combating racial capitalism through gospel values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoley 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 challenges the contemporary church to wrestle with crucial questions: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey toward racial justice?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders will gain tools to resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbors more completely, and build communities rooted in deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth-telling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Foley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.60w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587436307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Foley\u003c\/b\u003e (PhD, Baylor University) is a pastor, historian, and speaker who serves as special adviser to the president for equity and campus engagement at Baylor University.
