Economy of Grace

“This is the kind of book that prompts important and sustained argument. Tanner unrelentingly sets God's grace off from marker assumptions and yet does not attempt to generate a new economy apart from the workings of the present system. In fact, the startling claim is that the world capitalist system can benefit from 'theological economy.' Tanner's arguments about unconditonal giving, non-competitive economic relations, and turning private goods into public goods will stimulate a wide-ranging debate from congregations that are struggling to rethink stewardship to the world regulatory organizations seeking a more humane globalization. It is a 'must read.'”
