He practiced materiality over materialism. In \u003cem\u003eMateriality as Resistance\u003c\/em\u003e, Walter Brueggemann defines \u003cem\u003emateriality\u003c\/em\u003e as the \u003cem\u003euse\u003c\/em\u003e of the material aspects of the Christian faith, as opposed to \u003cem\u003ematerialism\u003c\/em\u003e, which places possessions and physical comfort \u003cem\u003eover\u003c\/em\u003e spiritual values. In this concise volume, Brueggemann lays out how we as Christians may reengage our materiality for the common good. How does materiality inform our faith when it comes to food, money, the body, time, and place? How does it force us to act? Likewise, how is the church obligated to use its time, money, abundance of food, the care and use of our bodies, observance of Sabbath, and stewardship of our world and those with whom we share it? With a foreword from Jim Wallis, \u003cem\u003eMateriality as Resistance \u003c\/em\u003eserves as a manifesto of Walter Brueggemann's most important work and as an engaging call to action.
