About
What is Mammon? Is it merely money, or something far more dangerous-a rival master that demands the very allegiance belonging to God alone?
In Mammon: Biblical Meaning, Definition, and Significance, Williams takes readers on a comprehensive journey through Scripture, history, and practical discipleship to uncover the truth about wealth, trust, and the kingdom of God. Drawing from the biblical meaning of mammon, this book explores how Jesus's warning-"You cannot serve God and mammon"-cuts to the heart of our relationship with money, possessions, and the systems that shape our lives.
With careful attention to the original languages and cultural context, Williams defines mammon in the Bible as more than currency: it is "that in which one trusts." From the golden calf to the parables of Jesus, from the Reformation to the digital age, he traces the subtle ways mammon tempts us to place ultimate security in wealth rather than in the living God.
Rooted in the bible and written for believers across traditions-including members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints, students of LDS theology, and all who seek to follow Jesus Christ-this book offers both a sharp critique of the prosperity gospel and a hopeful path to freedom. Williams challenges readers to examine their hearts with encouraging bible verses and practical wisdom, showing that true freedom is not the ability to accumulate, but the freedom to give, to rest, to trust, and to love.
Whether you are a pastor, a student of bible study, or someone longing for a deeper relationship with the Christ of Scripture, Mammon will help you see your finances, your work, and your future through the lens of God's provision. It is a timely, timeless resource for anyone who wants to serve one Master alone.
Includes a 30‑day Bible reading plan, lexical study of the Aramaic and Greek terms, and historical documents on the origins of "In God We Trust."
