The present study aims, within the mainframe of the Patristic teaching on the link between the acquiring of knowledge by means of scientific reasoning and that by religious belief, to emphasize the epistemological need for and use of the “scientific knowledge assisted by grace” and then to shed light on the even greater epistemological need for and use of “prophetic knowledge”. We try, as well, to illustrate these findings in the very realm of economic science, particularly in the economic theory of the rational underpinnings fuelling human behaviour.
