Abstract
C.S. Lewis once said that there is no Christian art, or Christian accounting, any more than there is Christian basketball or Christian comedy. Instead, there are Christians who are trying to be artists, accountants, comedians, or basketball players. Slightly recasting this for our present purposes begs the following question: Is there a distinctive “evangelical economics”; or have evangelicals simply been content with trying to be economists, without claiming that there is any particular connection between the two?
