Some of the members of SEIROS have published their work in academic journals or as chapters in existing academic books. But after Agape Economics produced its report as the culmination of Project 2, the Advisory Board accepted an offer from Shepherd Street Press to consolidate the work that had flowed from the 2016 questionnaire about volunteering and donations in Australia, into a single academic book which would inform interested members of the public about the economic impact of religion on Australian society.

The book may be purchased in either hard or soft versions here.

The book is divided into the following chapters:
