Toward a Theology of Business

Denise Daniels

Chapter Chapter Five in Finding Meaning in Business, 2012, pp 59-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Skeptics wonder how commercial activity can serve as a legitimate means of doing God’s work in the world when it is conducted within a system that to them appears to be antithetical to Christian values. In particular, economic growth seems to hinge on exporting a Western consumption-oriented way of life to all corners of the globe. An increase in the wealth gap, the elimination of distinctive cultures and value systems, and damage to the environment are mere tradeoffs to be made in the pursuit of the goal of growth.
