| Summary: | Much is currently being written from a Christian perspective on the economic effects of globalization. Perhaps the greatest challenge facing theologians working in this important area is to find a way of entering into a dialogue with economists and policy makers on the role of ethics in both economic theory and policy. Practitioners in these fields are not natural conversation partners. Cross-disciplinary discussion at a high level between theology and the social sciences is a key objective of New Studies in Christian Ethics, published by Cambridge University Press, and Economic Compulsion and Christian Ethics by Albino Barrera is an impressive addition to this series. |
