Description

What does the excellent news of Jesus mean for economics? Too frequently, Christian teaching and ministry have focused only at the gospel’s religious significance and ignored its physical, real-world ramifications. But loving our neighbor well has direct economic implications, and in our diverse and stratified society we want to grapple with them now more than ever. In The Economics of Neighborly Love pastor Tom Nelson sets out to deal with this problem. Marrying biblical study, economic theory, and practical advice, he presents a vision for church ministry that works toward the flourishing of the local people, beginning with its poorest and so much marginalized members. Nelson resists oversimplification and pushes us toward more complex and nuanced understandings of wealth and poverty. If we confess the gospel of Jesus, he insists, we should contend anew with its implications for the well-being of our local communities. Together we will grow in both compassion and capacity.
