Description
Materiality as Resistance: Five Elements for Moral Action in the Real World by Walter Brueggemann is a concise volume that defines materiality as the use of the material aspects of the Christian faith, distinct from materialism. In this book, Brueggemann explores how Christians can reengage their materiality to serve the common good. Brueggemann examines how materiality informs our faith in various areas, such as food, money, the body, time, and place, and how it compels us to act. He also considers the church's obligations regarding its use of resources, care for the body, observance of Sabbath, and stewardship of the world. Suitable for individual or group study, Materiality as Resistance serves as a manifesto of Brueggemann's work, offering an engaging call to action.
