Christian Capitalism

Here is an interesting and thought-provoking article on Christian capitalism written by someone who seems to defend it and yet, wants to seem as though he's criticizing the conversation. Still, its worth a read. Here is an excerpt:

I have always found it puzzling whenever nonevangelicals -- whether in the media or in casual conversation -- express shock and surprise over the commercialization of Christian religiosity through popular media and commodities. That shock suggests that even the most secularized among us remain susceptible to an essentially religious axiom: that the sacred and the profane must be kept separate as a matter of proper moral order. Even people who do not believe in Christ the Redeemer still want to believe in a Jesus who throws a fit when money-changers show up at the temple. And they want evangelicals to believe in that Jesus first and foremost, as well.
