Biography
Paul Babie holds a Personal Chair of Law in the Adelaide Law School of The University of Adelaide.
Michael Trainor is Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies at the Australian Catholic University, Adelaide.
"Babie and Trainor bring together various fields—economics, politics, religion (biblical studies), law—to examine questions of ownership and consumption and the choices we make to use, consume, change, mold and shape the world in which we live. They challenge contemporary readers to move from a self-focus to consideration of the other for the good of all." – Warren Carter, Professor of New Testament, Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University, USA
