This new book examines the way in which our world is rapidly becoming a single "global village." The result of this trend is twofold-nations with nearly unlimited resources are gaining even greater power and wealth, while others are sinking deeper into poverty. Originally delivered as a Kuyper Lecture, this book challenges Christians to live responsibly, so that all of God\u2019s people are treated with economic justice. Following Goudzwaard\u2019s thoughts are critiques by associate professor of economics Dr. Brian Fikkert ; professor of economic philosophy Dr. Adolfo Garc\u00eda de la Sienra ; and Larry Reed, who works with issues of global poverty through OPPORTUNITY International Network. A conclusion by editor James W. Skillen charts a course for those who want to act globally on the basis of a biblical worldview.
