Is There a Gospel for the Rich? by Richard Harries
This book addresses the problem: how can we be rich and Christian? It looks for a liberation theology for the rich western world - how can we change both ourselves and the world we live in? How can we all, rich and poor, be changed? The poor want change, but do the rich? And yet they could find so much more than they may imagine, in the Kingdom of God. Richard Harries takes the reader through the Church's response to questions about possessions through the ages, and looks at the creation of wealth, the market economy, stocks and shares, investors, employees, in his search for a gospel for the rich as well as the poor. It is aimed at lay people in the financial and business world and all concerned with the right use of money and possessions.
