Product Description

Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing toGod? Sometimes business can seem so shady-manipulating the bottomline, deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because ofwhom you know.

But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itselfglorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God'scharacter and creation. He shows that all aspects of business,including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing andlending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature.Though Grudem isn't naïve about the easy ways these activitiescan be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows thatChristians can be about the business of business.

This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitatingGod during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, andother businesses. See how your business, and your life in business,can be dedicated to God's glory.

Brief Christian defence of some tenets of capitalism
In this short book, Grudem consistently defends some of the tenets of capitalism such as private property, profit, and competition. He methodically looks at each of these to demonstrate that like all of God's gifts they are good, and rather than being just as morally neutral or an evil (to be tolerated as a necessary evil, or to be fought against), they should be used to glorify God; he also shows how like all of God's gifts they are subject to perversion by sinful choices.

Grudem bases his arguments on a handful of scriptural principles, and demonstrates that these tools of capitalism are effective techniques to achieve those principles.
