- W832490842 abstract "The problem of relating the Christian faith to the world of economic life is not new. As H. Richard Niebuhr wrote in his classic work Christ and Culture, the problem of “God and mammon” is as old as Christianity itself. It is one of those “perennial” problems that every generation of Christians must face (Niebuhr, 1951). However, the ancient species of the ancient problem has changed. In 1891, Pope Leo XIII published his monumental encyclical, Rerum Novarum, “Of New Things.” He used the phrase in reference to dramatic changes that many of the “perennial” Christian questions had undergone during the great revolutions of modernity. Changes in the political, intellectual, and economic orders of society had thrown the church into crisis. Not since the first centuries of Christianity had so many new “wineskins” been needed all at once to contain the “new wine” of the larger culture (Leo XIII, 1991[1891]. It is fair to say that Christianity has done well in catching up with the “new things” brought forth by the orders of democracy and science. While debates still rage over one issue or another, we have rethought our inherited traditions on government and science, and we have (more or less) made the difficult transition into the new age of Jefferson and Darwin. However, we have not done quite so well at keeping pace with change in the economic order. We have made some progress, to be sure. In his encyclical, Leo was prescient enough to understand that the economic order of state socialism, which many church theologians had begun to embrace, was in its essence contrary to both nature and basic Christian principles, such as the dignity of the individual and the goodness of property. Likewise, he also understood that the new order of capitalism, despite the new social evils that came with it, was in principle redeemable and, with the help of Christianity, could become an imperfect means of grace to both church and world. In the century and more since he wrote the encyclical, still “newer things” came forth from capitalism amid the Great Depression and the two World Wars, and we now seem unsure what to do with capitalism. It seems that we face a dilemma. On the one hand, as Francis Fukuyama has written in his book The End of History, advocates Editor’s Note: Dr. Schneider developed this paper from a pair of lectures delivered on March 8, 2004, at the Dordt College Science and Technology Center." @default.
