Having the Economics Conversation at Church and the Rise of 'Christian' Socialism

Dr. Peter Jacobsen teaches economics at the Gwartney Institute (Gwartney Institute | Angell Snyder School of Business | Ottawa University) at Ottawa University in Kansas, where he also heads up the MBA program. He is one of the hosts of the Faith and Economics podcast. On this episode of Business in the Kingdom he talks about the different conversations that he, as an economist, has with friends at church and other Christian settings: the different kinds of questions different Christians ask about economics and where those conversations lead, and how one-on-one works better than point-scoring on social media. He discusses the rise of “Christian” Socialism and ways that people on the right are also moving away from freedom.

Every part of life is, or at least should be, in the Kingdom of God. As the great theologian Abraham Kuyper once said, "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, 'Mine!'" Business, finance and economics are every bit as much part of the Kingdom as churches and ministries. And Jerry Bowyer believes that, in our day, the marketplace will be key to revival, reformation and renewal. Hear him discuss these essential issues on "Business in the Kingdom."
