At this crucial point in time, David Smith prophetically confronts this issue and invites Christians to re-examine their allegiances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Jesus's warning that the worship of God and Mammon are incompatible as a lens, Smith traces the tension of this decision from the Mosaic revolution, through the history of biblical Israel and into the New Testament. He provides a historical survey of movements in Christianity that emerged in the constant struggle to counter the imperial church's conformity to a materialistic culture. Finally, he examines the modern world's shift toward an economistic culture, which has abandoned social values and needs. Christianity, which has become a global movement with its heartlands across the southern hemisphere, now faces the challenge and opportunity of a world in deepening crisis. In this timely and important book, Smith encourages us all to join in the quest for an alternative society that is shaped by kingdom values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47649436467421,"sku":"9781786410580","price":53.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/MhgxM0GvEG9781786410580.webp?v=1773882724","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/god-or-mammon-the-critical-issue-confronting-world-christianity-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
