reviewed The Welfare Marketplace: Privatization and Welfare Reform on September 18, 2009
The Welfare Marketplace
I didn't care much for the first 150 pages of the book, which was basically 1) defining his terms and establishing a basis for his argument, 2) a literature review of influential authors (namely Jacques Ellul, the Blumhardts), which includes a 50+ page career-encompassing overview on Karl Barth, and 3) much longer than it needed to be.
But with all that said, I'm glad Eller went to such great lengths in laying a strong foundation for his arguments; it made the last 100+ pages much easier to understand. In fact, I really enjoyed the second half of the book and feel genuinely challenged by the paradigm shifts he presents regarding how we view faith and politics. Ch. 8 "Christian Anarchy and Civil Disobedience" and Ch. 9 "The Modus Operandi of History" are especially good.
