At first sight, economy and theology seem to be disciplines with mutually exclusive objectives.  Yet, as the Covid crisis has recently shown, if economic development is to really stand a chance of success, it should go hand in hand with relational values like honesty, reliability and empathy: this will contribute to a society with a culture of reciprocity, respect, love and trust. In this essay, Paul van Geest pleads for a renewal of the old ties between economics and theology as scientific disciplines, so as to arrive at a deeper and richer anthropological fundament for economic research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction    2 The Relationship between Economics and Theology as Scientific Disciplines through the Ages   1\tHow God Appeared in the Economy (and Economics) of Antiquity, Judaism and Early Christianity    1.1\tExcursus: An Attempt at Economic Exegesis   2\tMarket and Morality in the Works of Church Fathers   3\tEconomics as a Component of Theology in Scholasticism   4\tMarket, Morality and Anthropology during the Reformation and Counter Reformation   5\tHow God Disappeared from the Economy    3 Theology as a Coldshouldered Participant in Economic Discussion   1\tPreamble: Religion and Economy or Theology and Economy?   2\tThe Course of History as a Prelude to the Disqualification of Theology   3\tThe Irrelevance of Theological Sources   4\tThe Epistemological Assumptions of Economic and Theological Research   5\tDevelopments in Theology    4 Towards a Mutual Rapprochement between Economics and Theology: A First Sketch   1\tIntroduction: Theological Economics or Economic Theology?   2\tCriticism of the homo economicus, a Prelude to Interdisciplinarity   3\tThe Drive for Insight into Motives as a Second Prelude   4\tThe Complementarity of the Economic and Theological Views on Nature and Exhaustibility    5 The Indispensability of Theology for Enriching Economic Concepts   1\tIntroduction   2\tThe Economy and Community Building.
