"Joerg Rieger uses the occasion of the present financial crisis to
remind us once again that the religion that controls most human
history at present is devoted to the market rather than to the
father of Jesus Christ. He shows how far we who call ourselves
Christians have been sucked into the orbit of worship of this God.
May his call to repentance be widely heard." -- John B Cobb Jr
"Professor Emeritus of Theology, Claremont School of Theology"
"This is an important and welcome addition to the growing body of
literature which recognizes that global economics is a theological
as well as an ethical and political issue of great urgency." --
Theodore Jennings "Professor of Biblical and Constructive Theology,
Chicago Theological Seminary"
