Picking up this theme, Paul S. Williams, in the essay “Christianity and the Global Economic Order,” contends that the economy has an essential religious nature (utilitarianism) and that failure to acknowledge this has led to the uncritical acceptance of a set of utilitarian value judgments (e.g., the ultimate purpose of an economic system is to promote economic growth; hence, the economic system is whichever one maximizes that growth by whatever means necessary). keywords: economic; essays cache: /shared/reader-library/theological-librarianship/cache/tl-2372.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/theological-librarianship/txt/tl-2372.txt item: #73 of 89 id: tl-2373 author: Jaeger, John David title: Faith Across Time date: 2015-02-18 words: 1033 flesch: 64 summary: The reader can easily search for a particular entry or time period and find helpful information or go to the index and find all the entries in that volume on a particular religion or religious event.

Furthermore, seminary and graduate school libraries often seek out librarians with theological subject expertise (usually demonstrated by the possession of a graduate degree in a theological subject in addition to a library school degree) to serve as theological librarians within these settings. keywords: liaison; librarians; librarianship; library; subject; theological; theology cache: /shared/reader-library/theological-librarianship/cache/tl-2375.pdf plain text: /shared/reader-library/theological-librarianship/txt/tl-2375.txt item: #76 of 89 id: tl-2376 author: Roach, Jonathan Chad title: Search Committees: A Comprehensive Guide to Successful Faculty, Staff, and Administrative Searches date: 2015-02-18 words: 783 flesch: 43 summary: Given these potential costs, Lee suggests asking committee members “whether they’re willing to wager $3 million on that decision,” which he believes reflects a realistic cost for a bad hire who stays in the position (2).
