Descrição do livro

CHRISTIANITY AND CAPITALISM: THE STRUGGLE FOR OUR DEVOTION
by IAM N. OTHING

What truly shapes the human soul—faith or economics?

In Christianity and Capitalism: The Struggle for Our Devotion, the author draws on decades of experience as both a born-again Christian and a financial controller to examine two powerful forces that shape modern life: the teachings of Christ and the logic of the free-market system. While both can profoundly influence human behavior, this book argues that they often pull us in fundamentally different directions.

At its core, this work asks a difficult but essential question: when material success becomes the dominant measure of worth, what happens to spiritual purpose, human dignity, and our relationship with God?

Through a series of focused chapters, the book explores how capitalism can shape identity through work, consumption, and status—often turning relationships into transactions and encouraging constant striving without a clear sense of “enough.” In contrast, it highlights the Christian vision of human life as rooted in humility, compassion, fellowship, and the inherent worth of every person as created in God’s image.

Drawing on themes found throughout the Bible, the author revisits warnings about wealth, pride, and worldly attachment, connecting ancient teachings to modern economic realities. Topics such as virtue, ethics, dignity, equity, work, and stewardship are examined through both theological and economic lenses, revealing tensions that are often overlooked in everyday life.

Rather than offering a simplistic rejection of capitalism, the book challenges readers—especially those who value both faith and economic participation—to consider how devotion is shaped, divided, and redirected in contemporary society.

Ultimately, Christianity and Capitalism is a reflective and provocative exploration of competing loyalties: the pursuit of material abundance versus the pursuit of spiritual truth. It invites readers to reconsider what it means to live a life aligned not only with success, but with meaning.
