ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr. Antonio “Tony” Alonso talks to Dr. Erica Ramirez about what informed his recently published book Commodified Communion: Eucharist, Consumer Culture, and the Practice of Everyday Life (Fordham University Press, 2021). “Reducing the work of theology to resistance and centering Christian hope in a Eucharist that might better support it,” Dr. Alonso argues, “undermines the ability to talk about the activity of God within a consumer culture…By reframing the question in terms of God’s activity in and in spite of it, the book offers a lived theological account of consumer culture that recognizes not only its deceptions but also traces of truth in its broken promises and fallen hopes.”
