title = {On the Proper Essence of Christian Economic Ethics},
year = {2010},
note = {In recent times, the question about the proper essence of a Christian
economic ethics has rarely been asked explicitly. However, the concept
of a post-secular society, as presented by Jürgen Habermas, offers
renewed access. The necessary foundation for this approach involves
the relationship between belief and reason as the basis for
communication, the concept of ‘being made in God’s own likeness’
as regulating factor and the association with the Christian way of
life as a prerequisite for responsible economic activity. One possible
consequence hereof is to see the social market economy as a third way,
situated between socialism and capitalism, with its extra-economic
prerequisites and its particular relationship between market and
state. After all, the aim is also to consider the role of the Church
as a global player and an intermediary of values for a civil society.},
