In this addition to the award-winning Church and Postmodern Culture
series, respected theologian Daniel Bell compares and contrasts
capitalism and Christianity, showing how Christianity provides
resources for faithfully navigating the postmodern global economy.
Bell approaches capitalism and Christianity as alternative visions
of humanity, God, and the good life. Considering faith and
economics in terms of how desire is shaped, he casts the conflict
as one between different disciplines of desire. He engages the work
of two important postmodern philosophers, Deleuze and Foucault, to
illuminate the nature of the postmodern world that the church
currently inhabits. Bell then considers how the global economy
deforms desire in a manner that distorts human relations with God
and one another. In contrast, he presents Christianity and the
tradition of the works of mercy as a way beyond capitalism and
socialism, beyond philanthropy and welfare. Christianity heals
desire, renewing human relations and enabling communion with God.
