Scott A. Bessenecker delivers a provocative critique of the corporatization and commercialization of Western mission organizations, labeling them a Christian-industrial complex. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' prophetic temple protest, Bessenecker calls the global church to abandon market-driven strategies in favor of grassroots, sacrificial, and decentralized movements that prioritize authentic relational ministry.
