Advance praise: 'This rigorously researched book provides wonderful insights for anyone who cares about the intersection of faith and the economy. Over recent decades, the free trade movement has galvanized the attention of millions, and finally we have a careful analysis that examines this topic from multiple angles. This book should be read not only by the academic community, but also by practitioners in the field. Indeed, I heartily recommend it to anyone who cares about advancing the common good.' D. Michael Lindsay, President, Gordon College Advance praise: 'Amid the swirl of business activity that governs much of our lives, it is easy to imagine that free markets are the best - perhaps the only - way to orchestrate the global economy. The faith communities Amy Reynolds tracks in this engaging narrative exemplify significant alternative perspectives. This is an important contribution to our growing understanding of religion's role in economic affairs.' Robert Wuthnow, Gerhard R. Andlinger '52 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University Advance praise: 'Religion and markets allegedly belong to separate and incompatible worlds. Wrong! argues Amy Reynolds in her illuminating book. Examining the narratives of Christian communities in the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica, Free Trade and Faithful Globalization shows the deep involvement of religious groups in economic concerns such as free trade. An original and welcome contribution to the fields of religion, economic sociology, and politics, [this] book will attract a wide audience.' Viviana A. Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University
