Abstract
A “Theology of the Economy”? Or “Theology and Economics”? Does discussion turn on an object, about which theologians, too, may have a word to speak? Or is it a response to an intellectual challenge, thrown down by a self-confident practical science, which has captured the ear of governments, with its established methods, presuppositions, and ambitions? For two of these four authors, the economists hardly figure; for them, the economy is simply a question that theologians, too, must square up to. For the two others, the point is to correct the accepted platitudes of economic science.
