Volume 2 | ESSAYS ON WORK, WEALTH AND ECONOMICS | 2015

From the opening chapters of Genesis, the issues of work, economics, and vocation are of clear practical importance to what it means to be a godly human being, loving and serving God in the world he has created. This issue of the Bulletin of Ecclesial Theology tackles these topics from a variety of perspectives, but always oriented to the preaching of God’s Word, and the life and faith of God’s people.

The content of this volume of the BET arises from the Center for Pastor Theologians’ two Fellowship Symposia. In 2015, the symposia were generously sponsored by the Acton Institute, with Dr. Stephen Grabill, Acton’s Director of Programs and Research Scholar in Theology, acting as guest consultant. The fellows were invited to reflect on and respond to the collection of essays found in Harper and Gregg’s, (eds.) Christian Theology and Market Economics (Edward Elgar, 2010), as well as three primers produced by Acton on the relationship between faith and vocation. These primers addressed our central issue from the perspectives of the Pentecostal, Baptist, and Wesleyan traditions.
