God, mammon  & economics

What are your views on the economic situation facing the nation and the world? What have you made of discussions in recent weeks around tariffs and globalisation? Such issues can often seem somewhat divorced from our Christian faith. And yet these are matters which affect all of us, every day, in many different ways.

At Evangelicals Now, one of the things we are interested in is “joined-up thinking” in relation to our faith and our world. In other words, if Christ is Lord of all, how does that Lordship affect every area of human life and thought? And that includes economics.

Distinctively evangelical thinking about economics is, it would seem, surprisingly scant. This is partly perhaps because, in general terms, economic forecasting is, if we are honest, both notoriously difficult and often wildly inaccurate.
