James Talarico: “Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our scriptures…”

“But when I read the New Testament, I always come away a little bit amazed that politicized Christianity is so worried about gender, sexuality and so unconcerned with greed. Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our scriptures, both the New Testament and the Hebrew scriptures. And so this is such a core part of our tradition and it's nowhere to be seen in Christian nationalism or on the religious right.” (19:46–19:53)
