The American Dream, the Gospel of Wealth, and the Church

How does the 21st century church respond to the gospel of wealth and the American dream? James Gustave Speth examines the idea of the American dream and gospel of wealth in this article from Yes! magazine. If we “hold the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other” (a saying attributed to Karl Barth), how are we to respond? Photo by Muffet used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!
