taking the words of Jesus seriously

It might sound like a set up for a punchline;  two God’s Politics contributors, a Muslim professor, an economist, a theologian and translator of Zizek’s work, and an Benedictine Abbott step into radio studios around the world…

It’s not the start of a joke but a start of an important discussion on faith and the #Occupy movement around the world.

With six voices in the discussion it roams from Adam Smith & the Arab Spring, Benedict & Bonhoeffer, Calvinism & Capitalism, divot ends & derivatives, ethics & economics… and we’re not past ‘e’ in the alphabet.
