Theologians and biblical scholars have often pondered the dangers and the privileges of money. But few have focused on consumption as culture or a way of life, complete with its own set of attitudes, behaviors and purposes for living.` `The Consuming Passion does exactly that, relying on insightful theologians, psychologists, sociologists, ecologists and economists to probe beneath and better understand what makes consumer culture work - and how people of faith might best respond.`--BOOK JACKET</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Rodney Clapp</note> <subject> <topic>Consumption -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241.68</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R694-C59</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780830818976</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2023/3/23/106.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2023/3/23/106.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070155.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
