The Radical Jesus, the Bible, and the Great Transformation

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the political-economic significance of Jesus in first-century Galilee, this book delves into his values and their relevance today. It examines the critical task of connecting Jesus' teachings and biblical principles to contemporary society, which has shifted from pre-industrial social economies to market capitalism, as articulated by Karl Polanyi. The text advocates for a transformative approach that prioritizes humane economic practices over greed, positioning the Radical Jesus as a guiding force for a more equitable society.
