When we think of what the New Testament says about wealth, we often remember the passages that call for someone to sell all they have. We then note the earliest church thought the end was coming soon, and so we dismiss such ideas as impractical for a church that does not expect the end to come so soon. But the New Testament has much more to say about our relationship to our possessions. This webinar will look at that wider picture and at how it calls for an economic ethic that involves the whole of our faith and that helps us integrate our faith into the whole of our lives.
