In relation to the current postings, as distinctions among various combinations of the words 'economics' and 'religion' are made, along with various qualifiers, it might be worth drawing attention to the following book: Robert H. Nelson, Economics as Religion: From Samuelson to Chicago and Beyond (University Park, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2001). Those interested in the relationships between economics and religion, both as aspects of experience and as aspects of conceptual systems, (not to mention various relationships between the experiential and the theoretical) have an enormous field to survey. No doubt each is relevant in its own way. Bruce Larson
