Toward a Better Worldliness

Five hundred years ago the Protestant Reformation inspired profound social, economic, and ecclesial transformations. But impact does the Protestant tradition have today? And what might it have? This volume addresses such questions, focusing on the economic and ecological implications of the Protestant doctrine of grace. In the spirit of ecotheologies resonating with the best of the Reformation tradition, this book develops a fresh reading of Luther's theology of grace and his economic ethics in conversation with current theological and theoretical reflections on concepts of the gift and gifting practices.
