Synopsis

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly

Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been.

Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation.

Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice?

Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

Goodreads review by Esther on March 07, 2025

I finished this today. Wow. This book confronts our greed and the ways we've over-spiritualized and shrunk the Gospel. Foley is the prophetic voice we need today, pastoral and convicting as he compels us to take the words of Jesus seriously. This is a must-read for everyone!......more
