- Summary:
- This book presents a comprehensive theory of human agency within the framework of Christian philosophy and economics. It explores the concept of 'kingdom economy,' contrasting it with real-world economic systems, and examines how principles such as generosity, humility, faith, and love can guide individuals and organizations in fostering spiritual and material well-being. The author integrates theological insights with practical applications, discussing resource allocation, risk management, investment strategies, and the role of communication in aligning human actions with divine purposes. Targeting scholars, theologians, and those interested in the intersection of faith and economics, the work proposes a unified model of agency rooted in biblical principles to inspire a holistic approach to personal and societal development.
