| Summary: | Adapted from the well-known words of Tertullian, ‘What does Wall Street have to do with Jerusalem?’ is the question with which this collection of essays begins. Consisting of thirteen essays compiled from papers given at the Biblical Studies Seminar at the University of St Andrews, Engaging Economics seeks to demonstrate the role that economic responsibility plays not only in identity formation today but in the formation of early Christian identity with the overall premise that economic practice does indeed have much to do with the ‘seemingly unrelated world of the New Testament’ (3). While scholars such as Meeks, Friesen, Gonzalez, and others work to uncover the economic world of the New Testament, Engaging Economics seeks to uncover the economic dimensions of New Testament theology. |
