God and Mammon in America

Description:

Jesus warned his followers that they could not serve both God and Mammon. And yet, while millions of Americans claim to be seriously religious, they steadfastly worship the almighty dollar as well. How have we come to combine these two passions? Does religious faith, in fact, influence our attitudes toward work and Money? Does it curb our material appetites?
