That Makes Total Sense! regular, the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley, is back on the podcast and I could not be more psyched! His new book, The Anti-Greed Gospel releases next month and I cannot wait for it to hit the shelves. If you’re as intrigued as I was, even by the title and sub-title alone, this conversation is for you. Malcolm and I explore how greed is related to chattel slavery, lynching, exploitation, and our current capitalistic system in America and how Christians can respond to its realities today.
Oh, and an update – Delilah the beagle did eventually get to Thurman’s title, too. Ugh. That crazy dog!
