A sequel to Economics and Religion: Are They Distinct? , this volume presents a set of case studies of ways in which economics and theology may actually have been combined in the real world. As in the previous volume, these case studies were written first and then sent as a complete set to a second group of authors whose function was to act as a jury. The commentators were asked whether the combination of (putative) insights of theology with the (putative) scientific knowledge supplied by economics are intellectually defensible or actually fruitful. The case studies are printed in the first part of this book in roughly chronological order of their historical emergence. The interpretative essays are printed in the second part in alphabetical order.
