Economics and Society [The Bible and Your Work Study Series]

Description

Brings a biblical perspective to work and economic life within the overarching mission of fullness of life worked out in the context of fallen individuals, institutions, and nations. Looking to fundamental principles established in the Old Testament, this study focuses on ways Christians can bring biblical perspective in their responses to the realities and responsibilities of economic life. This study also encourages engagement with economic realities without dictating specific answers, positions, politics, or solutions. Rather, it offers six engagement styles or approaches ― prophetic, narrative, technical/ethical, policy, participational, and invitational ― to enliven and structure conversation around the question: How does Christian faith relate to economic life in ways that can potentially advance a more abundant life for all?
