Jesus told his followers, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's" (NIV). Today He might say, "Give to Wall Street what is Wall Street's, and to God what is God's." Determining what belongs to Wall Street and what belongs to God is difficult but essential since economic issues typically intersect with Christian ethical concerns. This course compares and contrasts different theological approaches as to the extent the church can and should be involved in ethical issues in economics.

In the wake of the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis, which led to a worldwide recession, many people called for reform of our existing economic structures and institutions. Pope Benedict XVI proposed a radically different path: we need to put love in the economy so that it serves love and expresses love. His revolutionary proposal challenges commonplace thinking about love (e.g., that it is a virtue for private life) and the economy (e.g., that it works best when it serves self-interest). It also challenges theories of economic justice, both secular and religious, that stress the primacy of rights. Hailed by leaders around the world as a critical contribution to a global conversation about our shared destiny, this teaching invites careful thought and creative action on the part of all of us. This course seeks to engage students in this call to action. Can we help create an economy of love? Prerequisites: Foundational Theology Course: THE 109, 110, 209, 221 or 222.
