Seriously convicting and saturated with hope

Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been.

In The Anti-Greed Gospel, Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley shows how racism is part of a cycle of self-interest that begins in a lust for power and money and causes violence and exploitation. The church can break this cycle by building communities of deep economic solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

Presents a searing critique of the status quo and points Christians to a redemptive path forward. A must-read book for the American church.
--Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne

This book, properly understood and applied, has the potential to topple our monuments to Mammon and make room for real racial justice in both church and society.
--Jemar Tisby, New York Times bestselling author of The Color of Compromise and The Spirit of Justice; professor, Simmons College of Kentucky

Offers us a necessary antidote to racism if we put down the delusions and temptations of greed.
--Christina Edmondson, coauthor of Faithful Antiracism: Moving Past Talk to Systemic Change and Truth's Table: Black Women's Musings on Life, Love, and Liberation

Foley reminds us that the church's fight against anti-Black lynching and its struggle for economic justice and solidarity are the same fight.
--Jonathan Tran, associate professor, Baylor University; author of Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism

Seriously convicting and saturated with hope--real hope that is both disruptive and full of wonder. May churches read this book together and practice living in the reality of the kingdom and the love for our Lord and for our neighbor.
--Aimee Byrd, author of Saving Face and The Hope in Our Scars
