Christian Economic Ethics

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Daniel Finn treats the relationship of Christian social ethics and economic life with the subtlety, insight, and balance that it deserves but rarely gets. The study is deepened by opening up the history of Christian social teaching, brightened by everyday examples, and sweetened by a kind and generous tone. Finn is gracious toward those who disagree with his positions, but always clear and firm about where he stands." —John Tiemstra professor emeritus of economics Calvin College "Finn accomplishes two important tasks in this book. First, he surveys the historical development of the principles of Christian social thought. Second, he presents the Christian tradition as a credible and challenging alternative to the entire spectrum of political ideology, not simply as a another tool for those ideologies to employ in the political fray." —Andrew Yuengert professor of economics Pepperdine University "It is hard to imagine a more ambitious topic or a more satisfying treatment of it. With consistently reliable and insightful analysis, this volume tackles the central issues that arise when Christians in any era address matters of economic justice. Taking seriously both theological texts and social scientific data, Finn offers a lively and informative survey that connects traditions of the past with realities of the present as well as directions for the future." —Thomas Massaro, S.J. professor of moral theology Jesuit School of Theology, Santa Clara University "I can only think of one concise and apt adjective to describe Daniel Finn's Christian Economic Ethics: History and Implications: magisterial! No other single volume so deftly recounts the entire history of Christian economic ethics, Protestant and Catholic, and its development while so brilliantly engaging in a two-way dialogue between economics and Christian economic ethics. Specialists will want their own copy and beginners will find this work as an indispensable introduction to the topic.”

Liberation Theology and Its Critics

Theology

“"Arthur McGovern has now written the book we have been waiting for: the best overall analysis of the full-range of topics and authors in liberation theology. His book breaks new ground in analyzing the socio-political analysis and method in liberation theology. From now on anyone who wants to treat of liberation theology will have to come to grips with this book.”

Popular Religion and Modernization in Latin America

“Because of its sophisticated theoretical grounding, wide coverage of empirical data and nuance, this book ought to become a minor classic in sociology of religion.”

The Church, Dictatorships, and Democracy in Latin America

History & Biography

“No book in any language equals The Church, Dictatorships, and Democracy in Latin America for its comparative breadth. Historians, social scientists, and general readers will cull from it the conditions needed for the church to play a positive and creative role in furthering human rights and democracy.”

The Spiritual Art of Business

Work, Money & Leadership

“In The Spiritual Art of Business, Barry Rowan takes us on a forty-day journey of submission and renewal in Christ. A seasoned C-suite executive, Rowan has thought deeply about the theological and practical realities of God working through him in the marketplace. And in this study he takes us on a four-part journey of surrender, transformation, realignment, and fulfillment. It's a journey every Christ-follower in business should take, and Barry is a worthy guide and mentor in this important spiritual work.”
