Welcome to the podcast Think Biblically, Conversations on Faith and Culture.

I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics at Talbot School

of Theology at Biolan University.

We're here with our guest today, Dr. Sarah Estelle,

who's professor of economics at Hope College

in Holland, Michigan, and does a whole host of things

outside the university.

Among those are, she's a research fellow at the Acton Institute.

She's an associate editor of Journal of Markets and Morality.

She's affiliated with the American Economic Association,

Association of Christian Economists,

Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession,

and a list that could go on for some,

for additional length.

But her specialty, one of the areas of specialty

is on the intersection of economics and criminal justice.

So I have a hunch that we're going to get some things

that we hadn't thought about before maybe get some of our categories rearranged

in this conversation because we have I don't think we look at criminal justice

much from the perspective of an economist.

So Sarah, welcome, really glad to have you with us and appreciate you taking the time to be with

us today.
