Clapp, Rodney. Editor.
The Consuming Passion, Christianity & the Consumer Culture
ISBN: 0-8308-1897-9 $14.99 US
LIBRARY ECONOMICS & SOCIAL JUSTICE
Nothing may influence and affect the faith of Christians in the Western, developed  world so much as consumerism. Theologians and biblical scholars have often pondered the dangers and the privileges of money. But few have focused on consumption as culture or a way of life, complete with its own set of attitudes, behaviors  and purposes for living. The Consuming Passion does exactly that, relying on insightful theologians, psychologists, sociologists, ecologists and economists to probe beneath and better understand what makes consumer culture work—and how  people of faith might best respond. CULTURAL CRITIQUE, THEOLOGY, STEWARDSHIP, MONEY Pages: 224

Tentmaking as a missionary strategy is more than a modern day fad. It is biblically sound with a long history of Christian practice, beginning  with the Apostle Paul. However, tentmaking today can be fraught with difficulties and disappointments. Drawing from many years of experience, Mr Gibson will guide you through some of the pitfalls that may await the would-be tentmaker.  Includes a resource list of over 130 book titles and over 100 addresses for further contacts and information.
