BOOK DESCRIPTION
The intersection of faith and economics is a critical crossroads in modern life, one that deeply influences our everyday decisions—from how we manage our money to how we invest in our future. "Navigating Faith and Finance" seeks to equip Christians with a comprehensive understanding of how biblical principles should inform not just personal finance but also larger economic systems, including the defense of capitalism and the free enterprise system.
This book delves into a variety of pertinent topics, offering both broad overviews of economic theories and focused insights into the pressing challenges of our 21st-century landscape—ranging from globalization to economic downturns. Beyond this, it takes an incisive look at further key social and economic dilemmas we confront daily, such as the ethics of gambling and the complexities of welfare.
Anderson tackles these intricate issues with clarity and discernment, answering vital questions like: What does the Bible teach about economics and personal finance? What is a Christian approach to work and career? What role should the government play in alleviating poverty? Is America on the brink of economic ruin? How can individuals secure their financial future? Are we on a dangerous path towards economic subservience? How does a consumerist mindset affect us, and what can be done about it?
"Navigating Faith and Finance" is an invaluable guide for anyone aiming to harmonize their economic choices with their Christian values, offering both a theoretical foundation and practical advice for making ethical, faith-driven decisions in today’s complex financial world.
