This work details the theological sources and moral significance of
the life and work of the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith
(1723-1790). The panel of contributors deepens our understanding of
Adam Smith in his religious and theological context and the
significance of this understanding for contemporary moral,
economic, and political challenges to modern social life. The
chapters cover a broad range of disciplinary and historical
concerns, from Smith's view of providence and his famous "invisible
hand" to the role of self-interest and benevolence in Smith's
social and economic thought. A better appreciation for the moral
and theological dimensions of Smith's thought provides not only a
better understanding of Smith's own context and significance in the
Scottish Enlightenment but also promises to assist in meeting the
perennial challenges of properly connecting economic realities to
moral responsibility. The book is of interest to advanced students
and scholars of the history of economic thought, historical and
moral theology, intellectual history, political science, and
philosophy.
