THE 647 Christian Virtue, Economics, and Business
Ancient and modern views of economy and markets are compared and contrasted with the moral vision of the Gospel, along with the Christian understanding of virtue. Students read an array of sources and materials in order to discern the complex history of the Christian promotion of economics and business, for example, in understanding the common good or prohibitions against usury, avarice, etc. Classes may be taught in an in-class, hybrid, or online format and have set times that require virtual participation. (May be taught concurrently with THE 282)
