Workplace Theology

Workplace Theology (ET/TH 648) equips students in the development of a biblical theology of faith, work, and economics. Students are given the opportunity to explore the practical application of workplace theology to their own settings and callings. 

Redeeming Capitalism

Redeeming Capitalism (SE 630) is designed to help students understand the relationship between theology and economics and to apply what they have learned to their ministries and their voice in the public square.

Foundations for Leadership

Foundations for Leadership (CL 503) provides an overview of leadership concepts from a biblical perspective, fundamental to running effective organizations.
