This book analyses the bearing of global monotheistic faiths
towards the philosophy and practice of record keeping and
accounting throughout history. The author offers a comprehensive
discussion of the literal and figurative processes of taking
account and ascribing accountability that link religions such as
Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Chapters address theology and
accounting in tandem with social behaviours to demonstrate how
auditing and calculating customs permeate practising religions.
This book first highlights how the four monotheisms have viewed and
incorporated accounting historically, and then looks forward to the
accounting debates, technologies and traditions in today's world
that derive from these religious customs. Drawing heavily on the
writings of Max Weber and Werner Sombart, the author demonstrates
that accounting and capitalism have religious roots far beyond the
Protestant ethic.
