Description: Divine Economy is the first book to directly address the need for a closer relationship between the two areas. Theology and economics have been treated as very separate and isolated disciplines. Long seeks to answer the question, what has theology to do with economics? He explains that both theology and economics are sciences of human action. This book calls for an active dialogue between theology and economics that calls for a functional economy which doesn't subordinate theological knowledge.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [271]-316) and index.
