Consuming Religion: Christian Faith and Practice in a Consumer Culture Book

Reviews posted here accurately describe and evaluate this work. Commodification dominates our lives including religious lives. Once you get this notion, you can grasp how we become consumers of religious traditions (modified by money), rituals, institutions, and really entirely all aspect of religious experience. Miller outlines the history of this development and illuminates what we might not have properly noticed. This is a terrific study. Culturally we now "consume" religions as if they were merely other "things" be buy, sell, and use. I am struggling to say this in a clear way.

This indeed is a terrific study, not esoteric, not limited to continental philosophies, and a vital tool for looking at our apprehension of religion. Other reviews here say this better than I do.
