The essays in this volume of the Bulletin of Ecclesial Theology are drawn from the papers presented at the October 2014 theological symposium hosted by the Center for Pastor Theologians. This symposium brought together evangelical clergy from across denominational lines, with a view to exploring the topics of work, wealth, and economics from a biblical and theological perspective. Contributors to this volume include: Scott Hafemann, Joel Lawrence Michael LeFebvre, Gary Shultz, and Matthew Ward. Book reviews in this volume likewise focus on works associated with the theme of work and economics.

This study examines some key approaches to ecumenical social ethics in the past century as expressed in the thought of Walter Rauschenbusch Reinhold Niebhur and the World Council of Churches.The author argues that unless Christians are clear about the ways that theology and philosophy relate to one another and work themselves out in our practical commitments we will lose the ability to discuss social ethics as individuals and churches let alone reach effective arguments.
