More Description'Paul Oslington has done a simply marvellous job in pulling together the various bits of writing on the relation between economics and religion. the collection might surprise quite a few, who might have expected this area to be a trifle thin. In fact, the range and quality of these pieces should impress and delight everyone - including all such sceptics.
