tl-2372	Lillard, Justin Matthew	The Oxford Handbook of Christianity and Economics	2015-02-18	2	.pdf	application/pdf	838	44	43	While the first three sections tend to analyze economic phenomena through theological lenses, Part IV, “Economic Analysis of Religion,” reverses that flow as religious phenomena are examined using economic methodologies. Picking up this theme, Paul S. Williams, in the essay “Christianity and the Global Economic Order,” contends that the economy has an essential religious nature (utilitarianism) and that failure to acknowledge this has led to the uncritical acceptance of a set of utilitarian value judgments (e.g., the ultimate purpose of an economic system is to promote economic growth; hence, the economic system is whichever one maximizes that growth by whatever means necessary).	cache/tl-2372.pdf	txt/tl-2372.txt
