Faithonomics: An Application of Biblical Truth to Times of Economic Crisis
Ebook
Overview
In his book Faithonomics, K. Brad Stamm brings together the Scriptures, basic economic principles, and popular culture in an entertaining way, appealing to the informed and the uninformed about economics and Christian worldview. If you want to learn about a topic more talked about than the weather, or if you want to reflect on your spiritual life from a new perspective, Faithonomics is a book that will encourage, enrich, and bring new insight.
”Stamm gets us beyond the false notion that spirituality and
economics are unrelated topics. In a winsome and thoughtful way,
Stamm brings economics into clear focus through the lens of a
Christian worldview. I enthusiastically recommend
Faithonomics!"
--Joseph M. Stowell, President, Cornerstone University
“One truth Faithonomics pointedly demonstrates is that
conventional wisdom isn’t. True wisdom--the kind Stamm delivers in
tasty morsels--is anything but conventional. Bringing together the
academy and the marketplace, inspiration and perspiration, the
twenty-four vignettes of Faithonomics provide much food for
thought at the end of each interesting and educating chapter. Enjoy
and be edified."
--David E. Schroeder, President, Somerset Christian College, Truth
in Education
"The Christian higher education community has for some time been
interested in the means and methods of integrating faith with
learning. This book has done just that. Through a series of
contemporary economic issues, Stamm has led the reader to an
understanding of the issues and on to a series of reflective
questions for further depth of analysis. Very well done!"
--Davis Berryman, Dean of College of Professional & Graduate
Studies, Southern Nazarene University
"Faithonomics is unlike any book on economics you will ever
read. It’s not a micro- or
macroeconomics how-to, or a theological treatise on personal
finance. It is more like a principle-driven devotional that
thoughtfully blends the economics-driven issues of the day with
biblical truth. With the skill of a studied economist and the
wisdom of a man of God, Stamm gives the reader plenty of food for
thought on economics, culture, and living for Christ in the
twenty-first century."
--Michael G. Scales, President, Nyack College & Alliance
Theological Seminary
