Abstract
During the 20th century, in Christian churches and amongst Christian
theologians a new interest was found in economics as an object of theological reflection. This
article researches the nature of such theological reflection, amongst others from the critical
question of how a connection can be made between a constructivist approach of theology and
the analysis by today’s economic sciences of the market as an important horizon of human
culture and of human communities.
