Named One of the 50 Best Spiritual Books of 2020 by Spirituality
& Practice What is materiality? Jesus practiced materiality
when he healed the bodies of the sick, proclaimed Jubilee to the
poor, and fed the five thousand. He practiced materiality over
materialism. In Materiality as Resistance, Walter Brueggemann
defines materiality as the use of the material aspects of the
Christian faith, as opposed to materialism, which places
possessions and physical comfort over spiritual values. In this
concise volume, Brueggemann lays out how we as Christians may
reengage our materiality for the common good. How does materiality
inform our faith when it comes to food, money, the body, time, and
place? How does it force us to act? Likewise, how is the church
obligated to use its time, money, abundance of food, the care and
use of our bodies, observance of Sabbath, and stewardship of our
world and those with whom we share it? With a foreword from Jim
Wallis, Materiality as Resistance serves as a manifesto of Walter
Brueggemann's most important work and as an engaging call to
action. It is suited for group or individual study.
