Book Description

September 14, 1990

Is capitalism Christian? Is there a Christian perspective on business? How should a Christian use power in the workplace? In addressing such difficult questions as these, Business Through the Eyes of Faith demonstrates how God can dwell at the center of one's life even in the secular marketplace.

Here is pragmatic affirmation of the role that committed Christians can play in the business world. The authors stress the connections between Christian principles and good management and provide biblical passages that support their principles and relate them to the practical issues faced by Christian managers. Issues such as employee motivation, workplace communication, business leadership, the role of profit, and social responsibility are all addressed in concrete terms and reinforced by short vignettes, suggested biblical passages to explore, and commentaries from contemporary theorists and practitioners.

Business Through the Eyes of Faith shows that business can and should be a reflection of God's kingdom. It is an invaluable resource for Christian business students, managers, and those who wish to understand the concerns and motives of Christians in the business world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book is not up to par for academia, August 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Business Through the Eyes of Faith (Paperback)
This book is a nice collection of opinions by its three authors of what Christians should do in a business context. It is fairly thorough, covering a large host of topics. It's major drawback is that is written for an academic audience, yet fails to deliver at that standard. Academic works need to be full of support and references and this book as very little references (even Biblical). The book is full of statements stating what Christians should do and how they should act in certain contexts without any support to back their opinions. I say this, because some of the things they say are very debatable. It is an OK read, but I was quite disappointed due to its lack of support.
