It was the center of learning, commerce, wealth, and religion.
Devoted to materialism, extravagance, luxury, and the pursuit of
sensual pleasure, it was a privileged society. But, there was also
injustice, poverty, andoppression. It was the great and ancient
Babylon the center of the universe. And now wefind Babylon redux
today in Western society. Consumer capitalism, a never-ending cycle
of working and buying, a sea of choices produced with little regard
to life or resources, societal violence, marginalized and excluded
people, a world headed toward climactic calamity. Where are the
prophets the Jeremiahs to lead the way out of the gated communities
of overindulgence, the high rises of environmental disaster, and
the darkness at the core of an apostate consumer society? Walter
Brueggemann ascholar, a preacher, a prophetic voice in our own time
challenges us again to examine our culture, turn from the idols of
abundance and abuse, and turn to lives of meaning and substance."
