Posted on June 13, 2023
Dr. Kenneth Barnes, Mockler-Phillips Professor of Workplace Theology and Business Ethics, shared his perspective and guidance in addressing the rise of cryptocurrency and its long-term viability in a new editorial for the Journal of Ethics in Entrepreneurship and Technology.
Dr. Barnes establishes that “a proper reading of Scripture would suggest that we were created by God to engage in economic activity, as a reflection of the Imago Dei.” He continues by considering both the advantages and disadvantages of cryptocurrency and proposes an approach in line with his understanding of the Christian responsibility of participating in and contributing to our communities and economies.
