The main question this topic seeks to examine is whether economics and theology are collaborative disciplines. Do economics and theology have anything in common? Should economics be concerned about theological ideas and vice versa?
_____
The logical consequence of these questions is the impression that economics and theology seek to better the human condition. In this report, Lincoln University Business Professor, Dr. Roberto Ike claims that economics and theology have much in common, and focusing on these commonalities could truly enhance knowledge and improve the human condition. Ike argues that economics and theology may have separate but similar methodologies and are close in ideologies. Social Economics explains the misunderstanding of theological views on economics. Using an interpretive format, Professor Ike searches [for] ways to describe the relationship and differences between economics and theology and to suggest how this relationship and differences help in developing tools for scholarly inquiry. Dr. Ike concludes that this scholarly and collaborative inquiry is where the field of social economics resides.
