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.
