Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Theology as the good life, radical uncertainty and conversation between theology and economics. 'The radical uncertainty of climate change is not nearly often enough balanced with the inspirational hope of theology. This vital symmetry is highlighted by Jan Jorrit Hasselaar in his extraordinary comparative analysis of theology and economics.' Rev. Dr. John Chryssavgis, Theological and Environmental Advisor to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew,
'Although Christian theology talks about God's economy, economists hardly talk about theology, especially not on challenges associated with climate change. Hasselaar bravely brings such discourses into courageous conversation with each other in order to confront anxiety and to encourage hope.', Ernst M. Conradie, Senior Professor, Department of Religion and Theology, University of the Western Cape.
'This innovative book finds fresh perspectives on climate change by combining insights from economics and theology. In particular, the narrative of hope is set out as a promising third way between the dead ends of naïve optimism and pessimism.'Lans Bovenberg, Senior Professor, Department of Economics, Tilburg University.
