A slow conversation between two voices about Ibrahim Abraham, “Capital, Culture and Contradictions: Contemporary Christian Economic Ethics”, Pacifica 22 (2009). About an hour.
Covered: the journal and the 2009 global financial crisis, who Abraham is, the opening with Charles Taylor and the four approaches to capitalism walked through one at a time, and his conclusion on the vanishing mediator and theology as secondary. It closes with other voices: Caritas in Veritate, Pope Francis, Kathryn Tanner’s Gifford Lectures, Daniel Finn, Hillsong since 2022, and a few criticisms of the piece.
