Abstract: Abstract The presentation of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Archbishop Pizzaballa, on ‘peace, faith and economics’ begins with a disclaimer: “I must confess that I am not an expert in economics. The economic dynamics of the world and regions are known to me as any other citizen trying to inquire, but nothing more. Do not expect from me, therefore, a general analysis of social and economic problems in general”, but at best a testimony to the economic and social problems experienced in the Middle East, which he experienced throughout his service and as Patriarch of Jerusalem, a city at the heart of global geopolitical tensions and at the heart of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Yet his article opens with a chapter on ‘globalization and new challenges’, before moving on to specific issues related to the Middle East and before focusing on the multiple relationships between faith, economy and peace. Is this just an ‘introduction’ or can we discern signs of a well-defined methodological approach?
