conservative evangelicals...have tended to downplay numerous
systemic problems associated with contemporary liberal capitalism.
these include persistent and sometimes devastating income
and wealth inequality both within and between nations, gross
concentrations of economic and political power both stemming from
and contributing to the exploitation of the poor but the rich...
the fact that most north american believers continue to be
"rich christians in an age [a world] of hunger" (sider, just generosity)
remains an appalling contradiction that followers of Christ Jesus
ought to address with utmost seriousness, however complex the problems.
