Stephen D. Morrison analyzes six critical insights from the Patristic writers: First why they questioned the salvation of the rich; second the commonality of the earth (and what it meant for common vs. private ownership); third the injustice of hoarded riches; fourth contentment and the sin of luxury; fifth usury; and sixth the tyranny of mammon. Morrison then argues that the witness of Scripture and the Early Church points toward anti-capitalism today.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>This is a radical book-fitting for radical times.
