Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to suggest that the Christian doctrines on God and the church are a significantly untapped resource for contributing to the broadening social conversation on the economy. The logic of the market economy is distinguished from the logic of God's economy. The conversion which the church has to undergo in order to give witness more credibly to God's economy is also discussed. Ours is an in-between time in which the church is invited to bring the strength of religious passion to bear upon the task of redefining economy in a humane fashion.
