We're all worried about consumerism - but what can we do about it? What's the theology behind it? What is capitalism as a context? How do we live better with a consumerist society around us? Eve Poole speaks about her new book, 'Buying God', at the Church Times Festival of Faith and Literature. ~ 'Dr Poole's work is a magnificent contribution to the church. Written by a gifted theologian and practitioner, this book is for all those wishing to gain both a richer theological understanding of capitalism and modern consumerism, and practical insights on how we can simplify our lives. This is vital work, not only for our own spiritual benefit, but also for the good of society and for the wellbeing of our planet.' -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury ~ Available from SCM Press: https://scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/9780334056744/buying-god
