Page Smith, a distinguished historian, argues that Christianity, rightly practiced, is critical of and resistant to capitalism; that entangling Christianity with capitalism is a fundamental theological error, a distinctly American perversion of the Christian ethic. Christianity, distilled to its essence and property practiced, is the friend not of capitalism - certainly not of robber baron, cut-throat capitalism that has emerged in America, but of democracy, equality, and unity. Carefully reasoned and astutely argued. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 212 pages; Signed by Author .
