N2  - "In The Economics of Honor Roelf Haan walks through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, but blazes an unfamiliar trail. Through careful exegesis he draws economic lessons from surprising passages and challenges conventional interpretations of some of Jesus's parables. Along the way Haan draws on a broad spectrum of thinkers, including John Calvin, Jacques Ellul, Rene Girard, John Maynard Keynes, a number of Latin American liberation theologians, and feminist Germaine Greer." "Further, Haan draws on his own experience of living in Latin America for several years, and the book reflects his deep knowledge of Latin American history, from early Spanish colonization to the repressive military dictatorships of the late twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET
