Can you serve both God and money? American Christians have wrestled with this question for centuries. God and Money: American Christians and the Battle Against Greed traces the complex relationship between Christianity and economics in America from 1639 to the present. From slave-owning nuns to socialist bishops, from Mormon cattle ranches to megachurch millions, this book reveals that American Christianity’s relationship with money has always been both complicated and fascinating. Drawing on her expertise in history and religion, award-winning author Colleen McDannell illuminates American Christians’ varying attempts to integrate faith and commerce. She shows how some believers fought against economic injustice on moral grounds. Others tried to purify wealth through charitable giving, or celebrated material prosperity as evidence of God’s favor. Still others sought to justify slavery by promising salvation in exchange for stolen labor. In examining these varied expressions of faith within the context of capitalism, McDannell goes beyond familiar accounts of white Protestant men to recover lesser-known stories of women, Black Americans, and Catholics. She also explores utopian alternatives to capitalism, including Latter-day Saint communalism, the Oneida Community’s biblical economics, and Amish simplicity. Engaging and deeply informative, God and Money: American Christians and the Battle Against Greed is essential reading for history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the uniquely American intersection of faith and finance.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order

You will be sent an email informing you when your order has been dispatched. In addition to this you can follow the progress of each item you have ordered by checking your account details (login and click on ‘My Account’ on the top right of the screen).
