Abstract

Normative economic analysis has generally been accepted as a bona fide research area within the economics profession, although few have chosen to pursue it. Some scholars have taken up the challenge and developed their own vision of "Christian economies" by applying Judeo-Christian ethics to economic problems. A few economists have engaged in extraordinary science positing a revelational body of economic thought that is something more than a patchwork of ethical and positive theory, and beyond the positive-normative dichotomy. Their episteme reveals a comprehensive, unified body of economic and moral principles that are inextricably interrelated and encompass all human action. This latter worldview-the subject of this essay-proposes a distinct set of conclusions on economic policy and a role for government that is uniquely Christian.
