Abstract

Abstract In this essay, I argue that, in the pathetic, transformative, and eschatological presence, the Spirit persistently brings the economic sphere of human life into the perichoretic fellowship of the triune God. When considering the perennial and ever-growing gap in wealth between the rich and the poor as well as the Global North and the Global South within the global capitalist system, I deeply appreciate Kathryn Tanner’s call for an economy of grace. However, in my critical engagement with her suggestion of the hypostatic union as a model for an equitable economy, I suggest how the global capitalist market could be modeled on the “perichoretic” union in the presence of the Spirit who co-suffers with and redeems creation including the economic sphere as the pledge of the new creation. Then, I concretely engage with the problems of equal distribution of wealth, alienation of labor, and solidarity with the poor for their own rights.
