Reformed Faith and Economics cover

Churches in the Reformed tradition have historically sought to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ into dialogue with social institutions on ethical issues. These papers on economic justice seek to bring this dialogue into the late 20th century by relating the Bible and Reformed theology to contemporary problems. These thirteen essays share a distinctly Reformed Presbyterian perspective and stress the contributions of John Calvin and a long line of Reformed witnesses on contemporary issues. Sections include Introduction: Reformed Faith and Economic Justice; (Part I) Biblical Perspectives; (Part II) The Reformed Tradition on Economic Justice; (Part III) Contemporary Policy Issues; (Part IV) Church Responses. Co-published with the Presbyterian Church USA.
