"In this book, Laura M. Hartman formulates a coherent Christian ethic of consumption,
imposing order on the debate by dividing it into four imperatives: first, Christians
should consume in ways that avoid sin, from the sin of gluttony to social sins stemming
from consumption. Second, they should use the materials of life in ways that honor
and celebrate creation and creation's abundance. Third, consumption should reflect
a love of one's neighbor, expanding the idea of 'neighbor' to include faraway sweatshop
workers and even the nonhuman natural world. Finally, the book explores a much broader
point, urging Christians to judge their consumption by comparing it with their eschatological
visions for the future."--Jacket
