Just Business Christian
Ethics for the Marketplace
A. Hill. 1997. Believing proof-text foundations for Christian business ethics
are of only limited use, Hill builds his approach around the holy, just,
and loving character of God. A Christian business ethic needs to emphasize
the importance of all 3 elements at once. Hill applies this approach to
a variety of practical business issues. Each chapter concludes with
questions, case studies and a list of relevant Bible passages which provide
useful group or teaching resources.
