From Reviews:
'This book offers liberation theologians a non-socialist model for achieving their goal of economic justice.
Stymied by the persistence of poverty worldwide, persons of good will search for realistic models of social transformation.'
From Wasteland to Promised Land is such a book.

'Robert Andelson and James Dawsey mine classical Biblical themes,  the vision of Henry George on land and the relationship of land policy to humane societies, and the production of wealth for the benefit of the community. Using these keys, they invoke the "Promised Land" as a symbol that offers challenging and promising horizons in the wake of the failures of both socialist and capitalist states. '

'Georgist economics can appeal with honesty and accuracy to the Bible, which is more than similar claims of many social reformers' John B. Cobb, Jr.

'This book appears at just the right moment... No true liberative development anywhere in the world will take place without benefit to the entire community...a book that should be greeted as a fresh, nuanced way to look anew at attitudes and policies that enslave so many.' John D. Davies
Bishop of Shrewsbury, England

Robert V. Andelson is professor of philosophy and member of the Graduate School faculty at Auburn University. He is author of Imputed Rights: An Essay in Christian Social Theory and recently edited Commons without Tragedy.
