Introduction

Rieger, Joerg

Pages: 1 –23

[While notions of gender, ethnicity, and race have become widely accepted and are put to use in religious and theological studies, this is not the case with the notion of class. Despite the fact that race, gender, and class are often mentioned together, there is very little sustained reflection...

Religion and Class

Wolff, Richard D.

Pages: 27 –42

[Discourse on class has been doubly repressed in the United States for many decades. In the first place, there is a widespread taboo on acknowledging the existence, let alone social significance, of class differences and conflicts. Second, when “class” is sometimes used analytically, its meaning...

Save Us from Cynicism: Religion and Social Class

Sung, Jung Mo

Pages: 43 –59

Class, Sin, and the Displaced

Westhelle, Vítor

Religion and Class in the Construction and Deconstruction of the Myth of American Exceptionalism

Collins, Sheila D.

Pages: 99 –120

[As John F. Kennedy once said, “the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived and dishonest—but the myth—persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.”1 Myths play a powerful role in political life. They frame our experience, setting parameters around our political...

Protesting Classes through Protestant Glasses: Class, Labor, and the Social Gospel in the United States

Estey, Ken

Pages: 121 –139

This chapter will explore the...

Poverty and Poor People’s Agency in High-Tech Capitalism

Rehmann, Jan

Pages: 143 –156

[Even if the Occupy Wall Street movement has, in an astonishingly short time span, disrupted the ideological landscape by highlighting the increasing divide between the 99 percent and the 1 percent, the perception that poverty is primarily caused by personal fate or bad individual choices still...

Inequality, Class, and Power in Global Perspective: Feminist Reflections

Brubaker, Pamela K.

Pages: 157 –173

Black Reconstruction: Thinking Blackness and Rethinking Class in Late Capitalist America

Walker, Corey D. B.

Pages: 175 –187

[How do we think religion, theology, and class? How do we critically engage this problematic when we consider the development and evolution of invidious conceptions of race and antiblackness in the modern world? With what conceptual categories, what theoretical frameworks, and what analytical...
