Theology of Money
Course Description:
This course is not a practicum; it is not about budgets or bookkeeping. It is, rather, a deep theological study of the difference between serving God and serving mammon. In it, students learn about currency, corporations, interest, debt, and the relevance of theology to economic systems. The course is designed for ministry leaders, board members, decision-makers in business, stewards of bank accounts, and believers who seek financial integrity.
