Book Description
A novel economic interpretation of how religions have become so powerful in the modern world Religion in the twenty-first century is alive and well across the world, despite its apparent decline in North America and parts of Europe. Vigorous competition between and within religious movements has led to their accumulating great power and wealth. Religions in many traditions have honed their competitive strategies over thousands of years. Today, they are big business; like businesses, they must recruit, raise funds, disburse budgets, manage facilities, organize transportation, motivate employees, and get their message out. In The Divine Economy, economist Paul Seabright argues that religious movements are a special kind of business: they are platforms, bringing together communities of members who seek many different things from one another—spiritual fulfilment, friendship and marriage networks, even business opportunities. Their function as platforms, he contends, is what has allowed religions to consolidate and wield power. This power can be used for good, especially when religious movements provide their members with insurance against the shocks of modern life, and a sense of worth in their communities. It can also be used for harm: political leaders often instrumentalize religious movements for authoritarian ends, and religious leaders can exploit the trust of members to inflict sexual, emotional, financial or physical abuse, or to provoke violence against outsiders. Writing in a nonpartisan spirit, Seabright uses insights from economics to show how religion and secular society can work together in a world where some people feel no need for religion, but many continue to respond with enthusiasm to its call.
Divine Economy
Author: D. Stephen Long

ISBN: 1134588879
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
What has theology to do with economics? They are both sciences of human action, but have traditionally been treated as very separate disciplines. Divine Economy is the first book to address the need for an active dialogue between the two. D. Stephen Long traces three strategies which have been used to bring theology to bear on economic questions: the dominant twentieth-century tradition, of Weber's fact-value distinction; an emergent tradition based on Marxist social analysis; and a residual tradition that draws on an ancient understanding of a functional economy. He concludes that the latter approach shows the greatest promise because it refuses to subordinate theological knowledge to autonomous social-scientific research. Divine Economy will be welcomed by those with an interest in how theology can inform economic debate.

Book Description
"A luminous debut . . . Haunting, gripping, and surprisingly nuanced . . . A work of great depth and seriousness." —Kirkus Reviews When Sister Angela receives an anonymous package containing an ornate silver candlestick, an object she hasn't seen in twenty-five years, her safe and secure life begins to shatter. Suddenly, she must confront her darkest secret: her participation in a crime from which she can no longer hide. As she sets about discovering who sent her the package, memories of St. X. School for Girls come back to haunt her. At the center is a group of girls who call themselves The Sisterhood, from whom fourteen-year-old Angela desperately seeks comfort and approval. Saddened by her mother's declining health and her father's abandonment, Angela looks up to the group's beautiful and alluring leader, Rachel. When she is encouraged by Rachel to play a joke on another student, the rituals of The Sisterhood take a violent turn. Now, from within the safe refuge of her convent and with the unexpected help of a young pregnant girl, Angela at last faces the truth-and the boundaries of faith. In the tradition of The Secret History and Lying Awake, The Divine Economy of Salvation is a dark, powerful, and suspenseful story that captures the innocence and cruelty of adolescence and the mysteries of adulthood.

Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
The achievement of a magnum opus is quite rare. In this instance it consists of the combination of four books with the common thread of an amazing model that spans macroeconomics, microeconomics, ethical economics, and economic justice. That is the journey traversed in this book. All along the way the potential and power of the individual is honored; and this is how the greatness of human beings is channeled into the process of an ever-advancing civilization. There is no reason to restrict the voluntary nature of social cooperation because humans are intelligent and spiritual and have--after thousands of years of learning--acquired certitude about the symmetrical benefits from reciprocity and harmony. The theory in this book has rich ancient roots yet its newness is not just a fresh perspective, and that is because what lies at the heart is a new economic model with the transformative power of a new technology. The model and the technology seamlessly connect macroeconomics, microeconomics, ethical economics, and economic justice. There is nothing else out there that accomplishes such a remarkable feat. No doubt there are many who object to the words in the title of this book. If your mind conjures up anything other than freedom and the glorious pursuit of knowledge then it is time for you to reboot. This ground-breaking and foundation-laying work will satisfy and develop your deductive logic and strengthen your resolve to take action and to appreciate human action. It will galvanize your entrepreneurial spirit which, in turn, will make the world a better place. And in this book you will find a highly readable narrative that both a general audience and an audience that is keen on economics and ethics and justice will enjoy.

Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
Divine Economy And It's Real World Economic Principles is a book that reorients economic thinking. It is an intriguing and satisfying read for those interested in business ethics and economics or for those interested in philosophy or religion. The Divine Economy Model (c) presented in Chapter Two will change your impression of economics.

Chapter One builds the case for the parallel emergence of humankind and the economy. It introduces their spiritual foundations. Chapter Two lays out the Divine Economy Model (c) which is an original and significant contribution to economic science. Chapter Three demonstrates how real world economic principles are interconnected and how the Divine Economy Model (c) helps to show their symmetry and reciprocity. Chapter Four identifies new directions in education and law that will serve to unbind the restraints, which greatly retard prosperity.

Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
The Bible reveals that God desires to impart Himself into man for His full expression. This plan, this divine economy, is initially presented in Genesis and is progressively unveiled throughout the Old and New Testaments. Its ultimate consummation is the New Jerusalem at the end of the book of Revelation. From beginning to end, God's desire to be joined to man for His expression fills the pages of the Bible. In The Divine Economy, Witness Lee traces the flow of God's economy, from the creation of man in Genesis to its consummation in Revelation. Like a river that flows without interruption, the divine economy includes not only the creation of man as a vessel to contain God, but also the major steps taken by Christ—incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection--in carrying out the divine economy. Through faith in Christ, redemption is applied to man and the Spirit is supplied in man as rivers of living water. In the divine economy, the rich experience and practical, daily enjoyment of God is the common portion of every believer. The believer's first step into a living enjoyment of God Himself is to see God's eternal plan, as presented in The Divine Economy.

To say that you've never experienced anything like this before is an understatement! Since when have you encountered a qualitative model, a model of the economy, a model that captures purposeful, spiritual, human action? All of a sudden you will recognize how intimately connected we all are and how the economy empowers us as individuals and fulfills our social nature. Not only are we all connected by the economy but these four models presented in this book are all intimately connected. What that means is that you will fully understand that macroeconomics and microeconomics and ethical economics and economic justice are cohesively bound together. This knowledge will take you deeper than you ever thought possible. The beauty of the depth of your new knowledge will be that you will no longer be fooled by the economic charlatans or by those who want to try to manipulate the economy. The economy is beautiful and powerful and those who try to control it have no moral authority and have now been rendered impotent. Click the button.
