Leading voices in the new discussion of theology and economy advance the conversation beyond outworn dichotomies and intellectual deadlocks with grace and charity. Tracing the contours of a robustly theological economy, Long and Fox find resources of hope beyond the depredations of the current economic order in the gift of the riches of Christian doctrine and practice. --Daniel M. Bell, Jr., Associate Professor of Theological Ethics, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary
