​In the language of Nimi Wariboko, I'm an  economic theologian, as applied to a branch of practical theology that, “Aspires to show how theological categories are useful and understanding economic and interpreting economies. I also work to clarify how economic concepts and reasoning can be employed to enrich ethical constructions.” (Wariboko, N. Economics in Spirit and Truth: A Moral Philosophy of Finance. Basingstoke: Springer, 2014. 88.)
