Be Good Bankers: The Economic Interpretation of Matthew’s Gospel
Join the Institute for Human Ecology and the Busch School of Business on April 3rd, at 6 pm, for a fireside chat hosted by Father Bob Gahl with IHE Scholar and Busch School Professor Michael Pakaluk about his latest book, Be Good Bankers: The Economic Interpretation of Matthew’s Gospel.
In his book, Dr. Pakaluk supposes that Saint Matthew was a mid-level ambitious tax collector familiar with best practices of Roman banking, accounting, and contract law.
What difference might this make for how he conceived of and represented the Gospel? Dr. Pakaluk finds in Matthew’s Gospel clues for interpreting a saying which various Fathers of the Church attributed to Jesus, “Be good bankers.” The result is a marriage, not a divorce, between economic rationality and Christian discipleship.
A livestream option will be available.
