Description: The Book of Matthew cautions readers that 'Ye cannot serve God and mammon,' but for at least a century conservative American Protestants have been trying to prove that adage wrong. 'The Blessings of Business' argues that while preachers, activists, and politicians have all helped spread the gospel, American evangelicalism owes its enduring strength in a large part to private enterprise.
