Sinopsis

Jesus of Nazareth said and did a lot about money and power in his own time. But Jesus wasn?t a ''free market capitalist,'' despite what some conservative Christians would like us to believe in the twenty-first century.--Jesus occupied the Temple in Jerusalem--effectively the national bank of his time--and threw out those who were exploiting the poor.--Jesus organized fishermen whose industry had been wrecked by the Roman Empire.--His followers included powerful ''women of means,'' who were last at the cross, first at the tomb, and who went on to become missionaries.--Jesus taught ''in the streets,'' preaching that God?s ''side'' is not that of the wealthy and powerful and that all believers need to confront inequality now.#Occupy the Bible is an eye-opening, no-holds barred look at the real message of Jesus, using the Scriptures that are foundational for the Christian faith. #Occupy the Bible is also a practical ''how to'' guide for potential Christian ''occupiers''--people sincerely committed to confronting the rising poverty and economic inequality in the United States using the powerful, unvarnished message of Jesus of Nazareth.
