The overall message of the book is that taxation is an instrument of justice, but only when taxes take into account multiple goods in society: the requirements of the government, the property rights of society's members, and the material needs of the poor. It is argued that this answer to the presenting question is a theological and ethical answer in that it derives from the insistence of Christian thinkers that tax policy take into account material human need (\u003cem\u003enecessitas\u003c\/em\u003e). Without the \u003cem\u003enecessitas\u003c\/em\u003e component of the tax balance, tax systems end up honoring only one of the three components of the tax equation and cease to reflect a coherent idea of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of tax law, economics, theology, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen Calhoun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367483726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367483722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Allen Calhoun","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136011481343,"sku":"9780367483722","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe07c61e-0729-4a3a-9a6c-932d408f0059.jpg?v=1770159921","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tax-law-religion-and-justice-allen-calhoun-9780367483722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
