Timothy Keller attacks private property

Tim Keller said the Bible does not favor capitalism over socialism. Rather, the evangelical icon claims the Bible critiques both sides of the political-economic spectrum.

Keller tweeted, “The Bible’s vision for interdependent community, in which private property is important but not an absolute, does not give a full support to any conventional political-economic agenda. It sits in critical judgment on them all.”
