The Routledge Handbook of Economic Theology

Despite widespread assumptions about an increasing trend towards secularization in Western societies, recent years have seen the development of a loosely structured ‘theological turn’ within the social sciences, social philosophy and the humanities.

This Handbook is a state-of-the-art reference work that offers students, researchers and policy makers an introduction to current scholarship, significant debates, and emerging research themes in Economic Theology, which is the study of the theological nature of particular economic concepts and the religious underpinnings of mundane practices in the world of organization studies, management and economics. The Handbook brings together leading international scholars from across several disciplines to present short entries, focussing around particular keywords. It will provide the point of entry for readers into this new and evolving field, and will also offer pointers for the direction of future research.
