Foundations of Biblical Economics, Business, & the Marketplace
A Christian economy will flow from the heart of man outward. A comparison of the factors of production in a Christian versus a humanistic society reveals why some nations prosper and others are in poverty. The wheel of progress in a Christian economy is presented, showing the components necessary for prosperity, and for dealing with poverty, inflation, unjust taxation, and other economic concerns.

A Biblical economy will have an honest money system. One of the signs of a nation in decay is the condition of its currency and the degree of honesty in its weights and measures. Learn how to establish Biblical money and banking principles in a nation. A Biblical view of business and work is presented in the life of Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the reaper. This invention was the foundation for the prosperity of many. Work and business are a part of God’s calling through which people can fulfill their divine mission and manifest God’s Kingdom on the earth.

A central message of the Bible is that if we look to God as the source of truth and how to live our lives, and obey what He commanded, it will be well with us, as individuals and as nations. However, if we look to man or the state as the source of how to live, and walk accordingly, we will go backward. This is true for ever area of life, as God’s Word addresses every sphere of life. Joseph Lister became the founder of antiseptic surgery, and saved untold numbers of lives, because he applied Biblical medical principles.
