The Spirit’s Pathetic and Redemptive Presence in Global Capitalism

What is it about?

This essay is on the Spirit’s presence and global capitalism, and interweaves trinitarian theology, economics of global capitalism, and the thoughts of one of the leading theologians of our time (Kathryn Tanner) to provide a model of capitalist markets informed by perichoretic relationships in the presence of the Spirit. I argue that “in the pathetic, transformative, and eschatological presence, the Spirit persistently brings the economic sphere of human life into the perichoretic fellowship of the triune God.“
