Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Christianity is growing louder in Africa, but disciples are growing thinner.Across the continent, churches multiply, miracles are marketed, and the name of Jesus fills stadiums and screens. Yet beneath the spectacle lies a troubling contradiction: ethical collapse, spiritual shallowness, and a… faith increasingly shaped by profit, performance, and consumer demand. The Jesus Industry names this crisis without apology.In this bold and unsettling work, theologian and development scholar John Sele Philip exposes how Jesus Christ has been repackaged into a product, the gospel reduced to a transaction, and the Church reshaped by market logic. Drawing from Scripture, African theology, development studies, and real-world case studies from Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, this book confronts the commercialization of faith and its devastating consequences for discipleship, leadership, and social transformation.This is not an attack on the Church, it is a call to its healing.With prophetic clarity and academic rigor, The Jesus Industry: Exposes consumer Christianity and prosperity theology as theological distortionsReveals how poverty, insecurity, and weak institutions fuel exploitative religionChallenges pastors, theologians, and believers to reject spectacle for obedienceCalls the African Church back to costly discipleship, ethical integrity, and Kingdom valuesThis book will offend the careless, awaken the serious, equip the faithful, and expose the exploitative. It is written for Christians who love Jesus enough to let Him question them, and for a Church bold enough to choose the cross over the market.Jesus cannot be franchised.He cannot be monetized.He can only be followed.Read this book not to be entertained-but to be examined.
