The divine commodity

Discovering a Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity
Book • 2009
In 'The Divine Commodity,' Skye Jethani explores how consumer culture has distorted elements of Christian faith, turning worship into entertainment, churches into corporations, and God into a consumable product.

Using Scripture, history, and the art of Vincent van Gogh, Jethani articulates the problems of consumer Christianity and offers an alternative vision for a more meaningful faith.

The book challenges readers to liberate their imaginations from consumerism's grip and to rediscover the values of Christ's kingdom.
