This Handbook introduces and systematically explores the thesis
that the economy, economic practices and economic thought are of a
profoundly theological nature. Containing more than 40 chapters,
this Handbook provides a state-of-the-art reference work that
offers students, researchers and policymakers an introduction to
current scholarship, significant debates and emerging research
themes in the study of the theological significance of economic
concepts and the religious underpinnings of economic practices in a
world that is increasingly dominated by financiers, managers,
forecasters, market-makers and entrepreneurs. This Handbook brings
together scholars from different parts of the world, representing
various disciplines and intellectual traditions. It covers the
development of economic thought and practices from antiquity to
neoliberalism, and it provides insight into the
economic-theological teachings of major religious movements. The
list of contributors combines well-established scholars and younger
academic talents. The chapters in this Handbook cover a wide array
of conceptual, historical, theoretical and methodological issues
and perspectives, such as the economic meaning of theological
concepts (e.g. providence and faith); the theological underpinnings
of economic concepts (e.g. credit and property); the religious
significance of socio-economic practices in various organizational
fields (e.g. accounting and work); and finally the genealogy of the
theological-economic interface in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and
in the discipline of economics itself (e.g. Marx, Keynes and
Hayek). The Routledge Handbook of Economic Theology is organized in
four parts: * Theological concepts and their economic meaning *
Economic concepts and their theological anchoring * Society,
management and organization * Genealogy of economic theology
