How we live matters. That applies to our personal witness of Christ but just as much in our witness as citizens and actors in the community. As such, the way that the Bible talks about the world isn't reducible to the rudiments of theology and the way of salvation. Scripture speaks to the world, the sciences and to the way we live our lives. We would expect the Bible to say something meaningful about such subjects as ethics, law and economics. If the Bible teaches communism or a preference for totalitarian dictatorship that says very different things about God than if it teaches human rights, peaceful co-existence and the basis for the free market. What kind of a God he is determines what kind of people he expects us to be and what kinds of laws and communities he would like us to have. Fishing out these deeper things of faith and practice isn't easy but there should be some fundamental principles that are available to the interested student of the Christian religion. More importantly for our case, is there an apologetical value to a Christian understanding of Economics? And what might that look like? CN
