Finance and the Common Good
Over the past fifty years, (financial) capitalism has brought about an enormous growth in wealth. Millions around the world have been lifted out of poverty. However, the downsides of the present global economic constitution are rapidly becoming evident as well. Rising inequality, soaring debt levels, and repeated cycles of boom and bust have proven to be some of its key characteristics. After the 2008 crisis brought the financial system to the brink of collapse, new regulations, stricter supervision, higher capital requirements, and ethical codes were introduced to the sector. Today we find ourselves in the middle of another economic boom. Yet one pressing question remains: has anything chan...
Themes and Texts in Luke-Acts
Twenty-three leading scholars interact in this volume with Luke-Acts. They study a variety of themes and pericopes. From Luke’s view of money and property, the relationship of tamid and eucharist, to the reception of Luke-Acts in Cyprian’s work, it brings new insights to the fore. The essays on individual passages interact with the Jewish and pagan contexts of the work and approach their topics through several different methodological approaches. Editors and authors offer this collection as a token of friendship and gratitude to Bart J. Koet, collected at the occasion of his retirement.

The Distinctive Character of the Free University in Amsterdam, 1880-2005
Translated by Herbert Donald Morton The central theme of this history is the Free University as a private institution founded to provide Christian higher education. At its founding in 1880, the Vrije University had only five professors and five students. Among the other public universities, it struck an odd figure and seemed destined for failure. Yet founder Abraham Kuyper never wavered in his determination to build a special Reformed, Calvinist university. Arie van Deursen here recounts the engrossing history of this unique university in its 125th year, using fully documented archival sources to detail the school's ups and downs over the years.
Mijn versnipperd bestaan
Onze grootste lezer, Kees Fens. Iemand voor wie lezen en leven maar een letter verschilden. De belangrijkste en productiefste literaire criticus van na de oorlog. Een geboren bewonderaar, melancholisch en beschouwelijk van aard. Maar ook een man met een groot gevoel voor humor, iemand die vloekte wanneer hij iets mooi vond. Een selfmade man, die net zo graag zijn licht liet schijnen over Augustinus en Petrarca als over het dichterschap van Willem van Hanegem en het vadercomplex van oud-premier Van Agt. Over de nietswaardigheid van de AKO Literatuurprijs net zo goed als over Lâ incoronazione di Poppea en de muziek van Thomas Tallis. Over de in zijn ogen rampzalige pogingen tot liturgievernie...
Moral Markets
Like nature itself, modern economic life is driven by relentless competition and unbridled selfishness. Or is it? Drawing on converging evidence from neuroscience, social science, biology, law, and philosophy, Moral Markets makes the case that modern market exchange works only because most people, most of the time, act virtuously. Competition and greed are certainly part of economics, but Moral Markets shows how the rules of market exchange have evolved to promote moral behavior and how exchange itself may make us more virtuous. Examining the biological basis of economic morality, tracing the connections between morality and markets, and exploring the profound implications of both, Moral Mar...
