This book proposes a new approach to economics, starting from the commons and based on the Economy of Francesco (EoF), a worldwide movement of young people who aim to change the current economic models and working towards a fair, sustainable, and inclusive economic system. EoF was convened by Pope Francis and is inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi, featuring Franciscan economic roots and institutions, as well as theories of the social sciences. The authors raise and answer several important questions throughout the volume, such as: What if the economic courses taught in the universities across the globe focused their attention on the topics of the commons rather than on private ...
This volume proposes a revisit of some key words of economic discourse, through the ethical perspective developed in the context of Francis' Economy. The reflections of young researchers, participating in the international movement of the EoF, invites readers to confront the conceptual instruments that are at the basis of a dominant economic thought, rethinking them ethically, in an inclusive and pluralistic way, inspired by the mystical exhortation received by Francis of Assisi: "Go, repair my house".

As reflexões de jovens investigadores que participam no movimento internacional da EdF convidam os leitores a confrontarem-se com os instrumentos conceptuais que estão na base do pensamento económico dominante, repensando-os eticamente, de forma inclusiva e pluralista, inspirada na exortação mística recebida por Francisco de Assis: «Vai e repara a Minha casa».
Heinrich Bullinger (1504–75) was an important and influential sixteenth-century Protestant Reformer. Sadly, today, many are unaware of his significance. This book serves as a gateway into understanding Bullinger’s life and theology, introducing them in a fresh and accessible way for non-specialists. After outlining Bullinger’s life-story, the main theological themes in Bullinger’s thought are explored through chapters on Holy Scripture, God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, predestination and covenant, sin and salvation, church and ministry, Word and Sacraments, the state, and last things. A concluding chapter considers the abiding significance of Bullinger’s theology and what his views can mean for faithful Christian living today.
