| Summary: | The biblical foundation for business activity is rooted in the goodness of creation and in God's appointment of human beings as its agents of development. While the fall has severely damaged all human activity—including economic activity—the call into business offers restoration made possible through Christ's victory over sin. Given this hope, the church should take up the challenge to renew and deepen the vocation of its business members, sorting through several centuries of confusion and neglect regarding a calling into business. Over the last quarter-century, a renewed exploration of Christian callings within business life has provided the church with stronger resources for addressing these questions of business vocation. The opportunity for creative partnerships with its business members in serving the kingdom of God can and must be renewed in the twenty-first century. |
