But, the problem here is in economics, not theology. They are two very different disciplines. Theology cannot save the economy, as much as economics cannot revive orthodox theology. But, a return to a Biblical economics would be a start towards the good. As much as he has been a bit of a pariah in recent years, still, Gary North has written a tremendous amount on the subject, even producing an economic commentary on the Pentateuch. These are available for free on-line. I am assuming that theology and the Bible are distinct things, in as much as the former is theoretical and the latter is ultimate. The same goes for economics or any other discipline. Cheers, Chris I would agree that there are gaping holes in many a church’s theology, of course.
