Capitalism shapes us, even disciples us. Our imagination and desires are formed through the forces of our culture. Capitalism profoundly affects our communities, our marriages, our vocation and our education.
The recent financial crisis has been a catalyst for economists and politicians to rethink the fundamental basis of our capitalist economy, provoking a conversation about what sort of market economy is best suited to our society.
But what has capitalism cost our churches, our theology and our discipleship?
This evening lecture and discussion will explore how the values, desires and logic of capitalism impact all of life, and will begin to craft the outlines of possible practical responses, rooted in a biblical and theological imagination.
