| Summary: | This book is an enquiry into the contribution made by religion to global change, specifically in relation to human well-being and happiness. It has an apologetic function, exploring the benefits of an enacted Christian social ethic for economic success and happiness, so as to argue for the significance of Christian social ethics both to the secular world and to the theological establishment. The enquiry proceeds by means of a survey, making connections between a range of diverse studies. The book is therefore structured essentially as a report upon a set of readings, with an added apologetic commentary expressing a set of theological judgments. |
