This well-known Christian ethicist ably bridges the gap between
theology and political economy, proposing a theologically informed
view of modern economic life. He traces the emergence of modern
Protestant and Catholic views of the economic order from
anti-slavery movements to contemporary Ecumenical themes. He
delineates the failures of socialist, liberationist and
laissez-faire systems and retrieves the neglected contributions of
such figures as Shailer Mathews and Walter Rauschenbusch, while
showing the continued relevance of Max Weber's view of economy and
society for Christian ethics. He concludes that Christian
stewardship must cultivate and articulate a new public theology
that will shape the structures and policies of public life.
