Description: These fourteen essays by Anthony Waterman serve as snapshots of the history of the estrangement of theology and political economy, and illustrate the gradual replacement of the discourse of theology by that of economics as the rational framework of political debate. Others have recently shown that both political economy and Christian theology are important, though somewhat neglected elements in modern intellectual history. This book is the first to combine these two lines of inquiry.
