A Philosophy of Christian Materialism

"Baker, James and Reader have produced a remarkable text that genuinely opens up new possibilities for theology and philosophy. ‘Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail’, would seem to be the right maxim here. We are grateful to the authors for this new mode of religious engagement with public space, for the common good." – Martyn Percy, University of Oxford "A Philosophy of Christian Materialism offers an intriguing theological vision." - Thomas Jay Oord, Northwest Nazarene University.
