This exhortation animates a remarkable range of theological reflection on consumer culture in the United States. And for many theologians, the source and summit of Christian cultural resistance is the Eucharist. In \u003ci\u003eCommodified Communion\u003c\/i\u003e, Antonio Eduardo Alonso calls into question this dominant mode of theological reflection on contemporary consumerism. Reducing the work of theology to resistance and centering Christian hope in a Eucharist that might better support it, he argues, undermines our ability to talk about the activity of God within a consumer culture. By reframing the question in terms of God’s activity in and in spite of consumer culture, this book offers a lived theological account of consumer culture that recognizes not only its deceptions but also traces of truth in its broken promises and fallen hopes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antonio Eduardo Alonso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282642219259,"sku":"9780823294114","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_3c88a164-a661-4e5e-ba8b-db289d394b7d.jpg?v=1778268408","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/commodified-communion-9780823294114","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
