Religion, Theology, and Class: Fresh Engagements after Long Silence [Paperback] Rieger, J.

**Religion, Theology, and Class: Fresh Engagements after Long Silence** tackles the elephant in the sanctuary that everyone's been tiptoeing around – how faith intersects with economic inequality. Joerg Rieger doesn't pull punches as he explores why religious communities have gone surprisingly quiet about class issues, and what happens when theology finally gets its hands dirty with real-world economics.

This isn't your typical dusty academic tome. Rieger digs into how different faith traditions have historically engaged (or avoided) conversations about wealth, poverty, and social justice. Perfect for theology students, progressive religious leaders, social justice advocates, and anyone curious about why Sunday sermons rarely mention your student loans.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks shows religion and economics don't have to be awkward dinner conversation topics. The non-fiction approach makes complex theological concepts surprisingly accessible without dumbing things down.

**Reader Reviews:**
"Finally, someone brave enough to connect Sunday faith with Monday reality – thought-provoking without being preachy."

"Rieger writes like he's actually lived in the real world, not just ivory towers. Refreshingly honest about uncomfortable truths."
