Creating Common Good:
Theological Perspectives
on Economic Inequality and Human Flourishing
In
today's increasingly polarized economic and political climate, the effects of inequality on the fabric of society and the lives of individuals are the topic of lively national and international debate. How can we all rediscover the value of working for the common good? What role might the church play in bringing theological wisdom to bear on the pressing economic and social questions of our time?
This special issue, guest edited by Sathianathan Clarke, Kathryn Tanner, and Ian T. Douglas, includes addresses from the 2015 Trinity Institute "Creating Common Good" by Archbishop Justin Welby, Barbara Ehrenreich, Juliet B. Schor, and Bishop Julio E. Murray.
 The Winter 2016 issue also features articles on questions of economic injustice, debt, race, human dignity, and collaborative mission by Willis Jenkins, Amaryah Jones-Armstrong, Scott Bader-Saye, Luke Bretherton, Beverly Eileen Mitchell, and Bishop Ian T. Douglas. Guest editor Kathryn Tanner provides the review article for this issue, surveying a number of recent publications dealing with the causes and effects of economic inequality and recommending books for further reading. And as always, poetry and book reviews illuminating the themes at hand are included in this special issue.
