Business for the Common Good: A Christian Vision for the Marketplace (Christian Worldview Integration Series)

The book is good but the shipment is late. I order in Dec 2021 and arrived March 2022

I was glad to be reading a book on the ethics and nobility of work in general that is detailed and focused and that backs up its claims well. The Biblical evidence for its claims are relevant and, the writing is very clear. The work is systematic and aims at leaving no loose ends: it succeeds in doing so.

Very helpful information. I am going to give some of the tips offered a try at the office. Definately a recommended read!

This product came in great shape and was good quality. The book was very interesting and provided good insight to business ethics.

Thanks a million

Excellent!!

the order itself was fine the concept wasn't too clear. it was a requirement for class.

Business for the Common Good is a well written and timely book for this present age of complex business activities. Indeed, many are recognizing the dominant and influential role of business as a social institution. Kenman Wong and Scott Rae explore in good detail, and with clarity, the influence of business in society and the role that the Christian person in business plays.They deal with many intriguing concepts. One such concept is that our work is an altar to God. The concept of our work being an altar explores and brings constructive criticism to the notion of a sacred and secular divide for the Christian person in business. Consequently, we can deepen our awareness of business as a calling, whereby business persons offer their work as service to God in the marketplace.The authors skillfully undertake topics such as the global economy, ethics in the workplace, marketing, leadership and management. This book will provide many good insights for business folks, students considering careers in business and clerics who desire to understand the business world and the role the Christian person plays in our complex and needy world. In the authors' own words "For business professionals, seeing business as something more than its instrumental (moneymaking) value has profound implications for how we might approach work" p.31.Business in the 21st century is complex and faces many challenges. The book explores some of the emerging directions in business with discussions on the Business as Mission movement, and new legal corporate structures such as the B-Corporation status for organizations.This book, written with theological sophistication and keen business acumen, is a must read. You won't be disappointed!
