Many Americans think that race problems are a thing of the past
because we no longer live under the Jim Crow laws that once
sustained overt structures of segregation. Unfortunately, says Paul
Louis Metzger, today we live under an updated version of
segregation, through the subtle power of unchallenged norms of
consumer preference.
Consumerism affects and infects the church, reinforcing race and
class divisions in society. Intentionally or unintentionally, many
churches have set up structures of church growth that foster
segregation, such as appealing to consumer appetites. Metzger here
argues that the evangelical Christian church needs to admit this
fault and intentionally move away from race, class, and consumer
segregation.
Challenging the consumerism that fosters ethnic and economic
divisions and distorts evangelical Christianity, Consuming Jesus
puts forth a theologically grounded call to restructure the
church's passions and practices, transforming the evangelical
imagination around a nobler, all-consuming vision of the Christian
faith.
