Too often, Christian teaching and ministry have focused only on the gospel's spiritual significance and ignored its physical, real-world ramifications. But loving our neighbor well has direct economic implications, and in our diverse and stratified society we need to grapple with them now more than ever. In <em>The Economics of Neighborly Love</em> pastor Tom Nelson sets out to address this problem. Marrying biblical study, economic theory, and practical advice, he presents a vision for church ministry that works toward the flourishing of the local community, beginning with its poorest and most marginalized members. Nelson resists oversimplification and pushes us toward more complex and nuanced understandings of wealth and poverty. If we confess the gospel of Jesus, he insists, we must contend anew with its implications for the well-being of our local communities. Together we can grow in both compassion and capacity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>The Economics of Neighborly Love</em> will surely encourage more pastors to 'take seriously the profound stewardship of nurturing both Christian compassion and economic capacity.</p>--Jeff Haanen, Christianity Today, December 2017<br><br><p>Buy this book for your pastor.
