Political economy concerns one of the most foundational organizers for society: how we order production, exchange, and consumption to achieve collectively determined goals. From its earliest days, Christianity has offered much to say directly to political economies, and through the centuries has shaped our intellectual inheritance in profound ways. However, very few studies have aimed to trace comprehensively the nature and scope of this inheritance.
This book offers a survey of Christian thought, from the post-Biblical age to present, regarding how Christians from various eras and traditions have influenced how we think about political economies.**Pair with the companion reader, Sources in Christian Political Economy.
