The Relationships of Religion to Economics

Patrick Welch and J. J. Mueller

Review of Social Economy, 2001, vol. 59, issue 2, 185-202

Abstract: The relationships between religion and economics are both complex and controversial. In this paper is explored one method for organizing those relationships. Four categories are examined which help identify possible options: economics separate from religion economics; in service of religion; religion in service of economics; and religion in union with economics. The paper begins with a definition of what is included under the headings of religion and economics. Next, each of the four categories is described and discussed. Conclusions close the paper.
