State-confessional relations: correlation with economics in interdisciplinary discourse

The theological term of “state-confessional relations” in connection with the subject of research in economics and other branches of knowledge is considered. The study was conducted using open sources, including electronic resources and scientific storage devices in the Russian-language data segment. A hypothesis has been put forward about the need to understand state-confessional relations and the level of their correspondence to the system of industrial relations, material basis and other resources for the success of socio-economic transformations and economic transformations of productive forces, human capital. The lack of scientifically substantiated information on the relationship of theological and economic knowledge, including monographic studies and scientific periodicals, is shown. The methodology of economic science can be applied simultaneously to religious institutions as agents of economic relations and participants in financial and economic operations, production structures. The stimulating effect of the implementation of elements of theological knowledge in the educational process on the perception of educational material by students-economists is noted, although the curricula and work programs of universities in the framework of training economists and managers do not provide for a special section for studying state-confessional relations. The study showed that in the economic plane, the issues of spatial localization and the participation of spiritual and moral factors in the organization of the systems of the productive forces of the regions are considered. The author’s interpretation of the term of “state-confessional relations” in the refraction to the methodology of economic science is proposed.
