Daniel M. Bell, in the midst of an incredibly busy schedule, was kind enough to respond to an email I sent him after reading his article, “The Labor of Communion in a Capital Age”. He provided me with an introductory reading list on the shape of the ‘Divine Economy’ in the Bible. He notes that “discerning the shape of a Scriptural economy requires attending as much to wise and faithful readers of the texts as the texts themselves.” Many thanks to Dr. Bell for taking the time out of his busy schedule to provide this list:
Walter Brueggemann, passim. Especially, “The Liturgy of Abundance, The Myth of Scarcity.”
Ched Myers, passim. Especially “God Speed the Year of Jubilee” Sojourners
Meir Tamari, The Challenge of Wealth
Luke Timothy Johnson, Sharing Possessions
Sondra Wheeler, Wealth as Peril and Obligation
Elizabeth Newman, Untamed Hospitality, chapter 2
Latin American Liberationists
John Haughey, ed. The Faith That Does Justice, esp. chapter 3
Christine Pohl, Making Room: Recovering Hospitality as a Christian Tradition
Amy Oden, And You Welcomed Me
Justo Gonzalez, Faith and Wealth.
John Howard Yoder, The Politics of Jesus
Doug Meeks, God the Economist

This is very cool, Craig. Thanks for posting a comment on my blog. Hey, I will be in Seattle in mid to late August, and would love to grab a pint or three with you.
Peace,
Matt
Craig, you're a dork. Have fun reading all of those nerdy books!
