Economics for Everybody: Applying Biblical Principles to Work, Wealth, & the World (Book and DVD's)

Description

Subtitled "Applying Biblical Principles to Work, Wealth and the World", this set discusses foundational economic theory from a Biblical perspective. Analyze, from a Christian perspective, the basic philosophies which guide economics. The author, R.C. Sproul, Jr., strongly asserts that economics is not separate from other world systems or separate from the Christian perspective, but they are interwoven and affect each other. Lessons follow a thematic progression: key economic principles introduced (Chapters 1-5); relationship between economics and theology (Chapters 6-7) and finally, real-life application (Chapters 8-12). Individual chapters cover stewardship in God’s image; law, liberty & government; production, property and tools; money, markets and trade; capital, calculation & profit; God and politics; economic philosophies & systems; basic principles & education; inflation & depressions; costs of redistribution; the real effects of sin and kingdom economics.

This set includes two DVDs, each with 6 lessons and an accompanying paperback study guide. The author recommends reading the study guide chapters after watching each lesson. While the author recommends 1 study guide per student (primarily for recording purposes), most students will want to write their answers in a separate notebook. For a full economics course (1 credit) it is recommended to combine this set with Basic Economics 4 ed . Note: no answers provided. Each DVD lesson is approximately 30 minutes. Note: Graphic historical videos in lessons 2, 7 and 11 (such as war, starvation, prison camps, etc.) Set comes in a boxed slipcase. 236 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth

Publisher's Description of Economics for Everybody: Applying Biblical Principles to Work, Wealth, & the World (Book and DVD's)

Twelve 23-Minute Messages. Over 4 Hours of Teaching. Everybody talks about it. The news is full of it. But most Christians know very little about it. Economics: its everywhere, influencing everything, yet so rarely understood.

Economics for Everybody seeks to remedy that through an insightful and entertaining exploration of the principles, practices, and consequences of economics. Thoroughly unconventional, it links entrepreneurship with lemonade, cartoons with markets, and Charlie Chaplin with supply and demand. Its funny, clever, profound and instructive. If you want to know why economics is so important to understand, this is the series for you. In our day and age, its a message every Christian needs to hear.
