This book sets out to assist counselors-to-be in developing an informed ethical conscience by first exploring and developing a theoretical understanding of the subject. The goal of the book is to acquaint readers with relevant ethical theory and to provide them exposure to real life ethical issues that are often messy, complex, multifaceted dilemmas that defy simple solutions. In this process, readers are encouraged to explore their own moral and ethical value systems as well as the codes they work from and to begin the formulation of an informed ethical conscience for making sound moral/ethical judgments. Why do good people do bad things? What will happen to our economic principles if we lose our Christian worldview? Does God call some to be in business? How can the church support the business community?Biblical Perspectives on Business Ethics: How the Christian Worldview has Shaped Our Economic Foundations answers these questions and provides a foundation framework of understanding for all those seeking to have a biblical understanding of commerce. This book was born out of a business ethics conference which took place in Philadelphia, in 2010. Chuck Colson, Peter Lillback, Philip Ryken, Wayne Grudem and several others have come together to encourage and strengthen the reader in an informed, Christian worldview as it relates to business.
