Acercamiento narrativo a Dios y mammón (Mt 6,19-34) y su relevancia para las Iglesias en Indonesia
Abstract
A narrative critique of Matthew 6:19-34 makes clear the impossibility of reconciling God and Mammón. Wealth, originally neutral, adquires a negative connotation as it is personified and presented as a demonic forcé. Seen as a goal, wealth feeds the desire of greed and inevitably produces a mentality inclined toward corruption. The theme is analyzed in the context of the Indonesian batak culture, whose ideas of hamoraon (wealth), hagabeon (fertility) y basangapon (honor) favor a high degree of competitiveness.
