为上帝的荣耀经商

简介 Summary

格鲁登在这部pioneering的商业神学作品中，挑战了将commercial activity视为spiritually neutral或inherently sinful的传统观念。他论证commercial activities本身——profit、competition、inequality等——在道德上是good的，因为它们reflect了上帝创造中的certain aspects。格鲁登特别强调business的potential for glorifying God和serving others，同时也honest地承认corruption的可能性。这部作品为Christian business ethics提供了theological foundation，为信徒在marketplace中的calling提供了important perspective。

Grudem challenges traditional notions that view commercial activity as spiritually neutral or inherently sinful in this pioneering work of business theology. He argues that commercial activities themselves—profit, competition, inequality—are morally good because they reflect certain aspects of God's creation. Grudem particularly emphasizes business's potential for glorifying God and serving others while honestly acknowledging corruption possibilities. This work provides theological foundation for Christian business ethics and important perspective on believers' calling in the marketplace.
