Ethics and Economics: An Exploration of Christian Beliefs in Economic Relationships

This article is a review of an issue of Interchange containing six papers presented by members of the Sydney Christian Economists Group (SCEG). The SCEG describes itself as, “a fellowship of evangelical Christians concerned with understanding economic matters in the light of biblical theology and ethics.” The SCEG views its approach as “non‐technical, but at the same time soundly professional”. According to its convener, Kim Hawtrey, the Sydney group has been mainly composed of bank economists and postgraduate students. This is reflected in the applied nature of the progamme. These papers were all presented at a conference that the SCEG sponsored entitled “Ethics and Economics: An Exploration of Christian Belief in Economic Relationships”, conducted in March 1985.
