- Summary:
- This engaging book contains the Oxford Declaration on Christian Faith and Economics and eleven critical responses to what is being called the most important evangelical declaration on the subject of Christian faith and economics in decades. Developed from the second Oxford Conference on Christian Faith and Economics held in Oxford, England, in 1990, the declaration is the work of a group of notable evangelical spokespersons representing a global range of geographical, denominational, and socio-political viewpoints. The result is the most comprehensive approach to the subject of faith and economics yet taken by evangelical scholars.
