Markets and Moral Formation with Dr Glenn Butner

KLC’s Economics Hub hosted Dr Glenn Butner, author of Work Out Your Salvation: A Theology of Markets and Moral Formation, to discuss his book and the vital nexus of economics, theology, and discipleship. Glenn Butner’s book makes the provocative argument that such connections run deep—our participation in markets influences our moral development, perceptions, and actions. Hear Dr Butner’s challenge to our oversimplified views of capitalism and our moral development within it.

Our esteemed panel of Economics Hub members—D. Stephen Long (Theologian, Southern Methodist University), Steven McMullen (Economist, Hope College, and editor of Faith & Economics) and Robert C. Tatum (Economist, University of North Carolina Asheville)—talk with Dr Butner about his book and its implications for our faith and practice.
