This lecture will discuss the unique role the church plays in a market-based economic system, and will examine the moral imperatives given in scripture and Christian social thought that are foundational to building an economy that allows flourishing and ensures justice for all.   Pastor Brooks explains the vital relationship between economics and moral philosophy for a free and virtuous society.
