Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when God's ways are ignored or violated, in the face of situational realities and pressures that seemingly force us to question the relevancy of a 2000 year-old Text in our modern business dealings? What would our companies, relationships and community look like if we had the courage and conviction to honor all people as those created in the image of God, and honor their property as an inheritance from God? Workplace Ethics: Applying Biblical Standards to Daily Business directly engages these questions, and many more, as a means to challenge and encourage the faithful businessperson seeking to strengthen a biblical perspective in all areas of their business. Workplace Ethics explores the vast array of questions and concerns one must wrestle with when seeking to have a code of ethics rooted in biblical principles. The chapters provide a framework on how God calls us to behave as owners, subordinates, colleagues, customers, and vendors. The foundational overview focuses on the nature of work in God's world and touches the many nuanced implications of behavior in the business and work environment. With a blend of biblical principles and application, Workplace Ethics offers fresh insights into the role of the Christian in his or her business calling in God's world.
