The Myth of the American Dream - Reflections on Affluence, Autonomy, Safety, and Power

Beschreibung

Affluence, autonomy, safety, and power--the central values of the American dream. But are they compatible with Jesus' command to love our neighbor as ourselves? In essays grouped around these four values, D. L. Mayfield asks us to pay attention to the ways they shape our own choices, and the ways those choices affect our neighbors.
