Reviews

Paul Chung's book, dedicated to Ulrich Duchrow, does not offer us a theological engagement with economics in the way, say, that Douglas Meeks did or Duchrow does, but rather a history of the ideas which got us where we are, and an account of the discussion surrounding them. Tim Gorringe, Theology Volume 118.3, May/June 2015
