Description

Jung Mo Sung has pioneered a theological analysis of economics in his previous publications, developing a penetrating ethico-spiritual critique of the international capitalist systems, whose institutions he likens to altars. Where ancient idolatry had visible altars, the up to date altar of the ‘global market god’, is invisible, but still demands human sacrifices within the name of ‘objective’ desires. Here Sung recovers theology’s relevance for a world where probably the most dangerous idols — those who sacrifice millions of folks upon the altar of wealth — have for too long been ignored by theology. Desire, Market, Religion, Sung investigates themes such because the struggle against social exclusion, the connection between economics and religion within the 21 century, where global brands and global economies reigns supreme, and theology’s role within the struggle against social exclusion and the giving of hope for many, when the truth is scarcity.
