Of Divine Economy expands upon the economic connotations of the
theological doctrine of redemption. The term redemption refers to a
process of 'buying back' slaves from conditions of oppression, and
thus compares the crux of Christian dogma to an economic exchange
involving human emancipation. The phrase 'miraculous exchanges'
refers to the problem of redemptive divine and human agency in an
economic context in which many who desire justice and equity feel
powerless and hopeless. The originality of Divine Economy lies not
only in its theological reading of redemption as an economic
metaphor, but also in its focus on the economic subtexts of
Christian tradition and how they form and are formed by society's
economic constructions. Grau's unique project merges together
economic, historical, and psycho-social analysis with theological
critique and construction.
