On reclaiming the moral roots of capitalism for a virtuous futureFor good or ill, the capitalism we have is the capitalism we have chosen, says Kenneth Barnes. Capitalism works, and the challenge before us is not to change its structure but to address the moral vacuum at the core of its current practice.In Redeeming Capitalism Barnes explores the history and workings of this sometimes-brutal economic system. He investigates the effects of postmodernism and unpacks biblical-theological teachings on work and wealth. Proposing virtuous choices as a way out of such pitfalls as the recent global financial crisis, Barnes envisions a more just and flourishing capitalism for the good of all.

Just as ""generals are always fighting the last war"" my experience as a chaplain at Oxford University has taught me that the church often ""speaks to the last generation."" The statistics provided by the Pew Research Center say it all. The people of Generation Y are less likely to go to church, believe in God, or identify themselves as ""religious"" than any previous generation, yet they still have a deep and abiding interest in ""spiritual"" things. If the church is going to reach this group of ""seekers"" with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it will have to do it on their terms, speak their language, and understand their concerns. If we try to ""fight the last war"" with Generation Y, we will lose it. Instead, church leaders must seriously examine how we relate (or not) to Generation Y and change our tactics accordingly. This book is a reflection on my personal experience of ministry to Generation Y, combining pastoral care, mentoring, and ""postmodern apologetics"" in ways that are equally applicable to parochial, academic, and/or secular settings. ""It was a privilege to have Ken as a friend and colleague in Oxford and this book will offer a wider audience the opportunity to engage with his thoughts on an immensely important subject."" --Jonathan Brant, Oxford Pastorate Chaplain Rev.
