This book compares our contemporary preoccupation with ownership
and consumption with the role of property and possessions in the
biblical world, contending that Christian theology provides a
valuable entry point to discussing the issue of private property-a
neoliberal tool with the capacity to shape the world in which we
live by exercising control over the planet's resources. Babie and
Trainor draw on the teaching on property and possessions of Jesus
of Nazareth. They demonstrate how subsequent members of the Jesus
movement-the writers of early collection of Jesus sayings (called
'Q'), and the gospels of Mark and Luke-reformulated Jesus' teaching
for different contexts that was radical and challenging for their
own day. Their view of wealth and possessions continues today to be
as relevant as ever. By placing the insights of the Galilean Jesus
and the early Jesus movement into conversation with contemporary
views on private property and consumer culture, the authors develop
legal, philosophical and theological insights, what they describe
as 'seven theses', into how our desire for ethical living fares in
the neoliberal marketplace.
