Sommario/riassunto |
|
Written in non-technical language accessible to non-specialist readers, this book is a theological synthesis of the findings of scripture scholars and ethicists on what the Bible teaches about economic life. It proposes a biblical theology of economic life that examines what the individual sections of Sacred Scripture say about proper economic conduct and how these teachings fit within the larger theology and ethics of the biblical books in which they are found. |
