Book Reviews of Christianity Incorporated: How Big Business Is Buying the Church
Book Review: A Warning Shot Across the Ark
Summary: 5 Stars
"Christianity Incorporated" is a remarkable book for at least two reasons: (1) its scathing critique of the unholy marriage between capitalism and the Church, and (2) the brevity in which that scathing critique is completed.
Budde and Brimlow detail just how pervasive the capitalist influence is on the Church, how the Church seeks now to serve as the "chaplain" to capitalism, and how the Church sometimes acts like a capitalist institution itself. The result is religion that retains form but is quickly becoming devoid of content and a church that strives for enrollment but can care little for discipleship.
