029 | Malignant Faith, Class Struggle, and Social Justice with Joerg Rieger

If you're wondering why Christians might want to take class and labor more seriously, I think you'll like Joerg Rieger! We talk two different kinds of faith, labor and power in the Gospels, class struggle and social justice, liberal Christianity, and discipleship as organizing. He also just launched a new Doctoral program for folks who want to think about economics and ecology from a religious perspective at Vanderbilt University called The Wendland-Cook Program on Religion and Justice. You can find the new program here: https://www.religionandjustice.org/. Check out all of Rieger's work here: https://joergrieger.com/. And here are links to two of the books we mention in our convo: https://www.powells.com/book/jesus-vs-caesar-9781501842672 and https://www.powells.com/book/-9780827238589.
