In line with the development of political theology and economic
theology in contemporary European thought, Credit and Faith offers
a critical account of the faith structures within economic life and
institutions. Goodchild's ground-breaking work provides a
philosophical appropriation of the economic dimension of the New
Testament and fresh theological, philosophical and economic
perspectives on the present. Covering the theological roots of the
way economic life was, and is, articulated, the philosophical roots
of value and debt and the economic roots of credit and creation,
this book charts the emergence of early theories of capital and
banking through a consideration of credit. It draws on some
neglected historical figures, as well as Jules Lagneau, Simone
Weil, the Kantian problem of freedom and necessity and a critical
reading of the early Marx and of Nietzsche's genealogy; through
this Goodchild explains how the Financial Revolution was able to
conceal the credit economy which was its foundation and foster the
pursuit of self-interest instead of the common good. This
innovative interweaving of theology, philosophy and economics
constructs a new metaphysical framework for a critical account of
the faith structures within economic life and institutions and
returns to the practice of philosophy as a way of life - a
practical, engaged, worldy discipline.
