Business as Ministry: A Theological, Missiological, and Managerial Integration

Business as Ministry Volume 1 traces the integration of theology, missiology, and business management into a coherent research narrative. It begins with biblical and theological discernment of the common good and examines four business philosophies. The discussion then moves on to various business models, culminating in a 4×4 matrix presented as an "ocean." It then transitions to the field through qualitative inquiry, focusing on real companies in their specific contexts. In this practical exploration, the Common Good Treasure (CGT) and the Common Good Treasure Assessment (CGTA) are developed as a constructive framework for both scholarly pursuits and organizational development. Volume 1 moves from foundational questions to empirical study, measurement, and interpretation, forming a unified arc of scholarly integration that sets the stage for the more practice-oriented Volumes 2, 3, and 4.
