THE DIGNITY OF MAN AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

THE DIGNITY OF MAN AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

This page is the abstract of a thesis at the University of Durham, City of Durham, England, UK.
The following Reformed doctrines are investigated in relation to man's role working in a business enterprise:

  1. man as the image of God and work as a vocation from God
  2. covenanting in the context of human relations within the firm
  3. the sovereignty of God in relation to the structure of the economic system
  4. stewardship in the context of the rewards of work

Without having read the full thesis, any comments of mine would be superfluous at this stage, except to say that it gives the impression that a useful piece of work has been done, one which merits the attention of Christians working in a business enterprise, a situation in which [like myself] many engineers find themselves.

The page does not indicate who the researcher was, but I found the page from a link posted on the site of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.
