Christian economics can refer to a combination of theology and economics that attempts to biblically justify a strict laissez-faire free market system, which, in a way, makes it the opposite of liberation theology. Traditionally this was how Christian economics was defined. Christian economics defined differently is closer to liberation theology and argues that Jesus valued poor people, also Christians have a duty to share what they have. A few Christians are arguing for this new definition.

abstract
  • Christian economics can refer to a combination of theology and economics that attempts to biblically justify a strict laissez-faire free market system, which, in a way, makes it the opposite of liberation theology. Traditionally this was how Christian economics was defined. Christian economics defined differently is closer to liberation theology and argues that Jesus valued poor people, also Christians have a duty to share what they have. A few Christians are arguing for this new definition. Explain the paradox. How can the same term have totally opposite meanings? Well, different Christians have totally different ideas about what they think Jesus wanted and both use the term Christian economics to describe what they or their group believes.
