OverviewMoney Theology What is money, really, and what does God think about it?. Every day, billions of people organise their lives around money. We work for it, save it, spend it, worry about it, and sometimes worship it. For something so central to human existence, it is remarkable how rarely we stop to ask the fundamental questions about money's ultimate purpose. Managing money is not merely technical-it is profoundly spiritual. As Jesus said, 'Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' Most financial advice, even from well-meaning Christians, operates in a theological vacuum, often failing to address where money comes from or what its ultimate purpose is. This failure leads to extreme errors, from the prosperity gospel validating greed to an ascetic suspicion of wealth. Money Theology provides a comprehensive theological framework that connects your financial life to the deepest truths of the Christian faith. This book is an invitation to see money differently-not as a pragmatic, secular thing, but as deeply theological, woven into God's story from the beginning to the end. Drawing on the grand narrative of Scripture-Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration-discover how to handle money wisely and faithfully: Foundation (Who is God?): Begin with the Triune God, establishing the blueprint for an economy of mutual love. The Father is the Owner and Source of all things, establishing the economics of ultimate ownership. The Son provides the Order and Design for economic systems, and the Holy Spirit brings Life, Empowerment, and Flourishing. The Fall: Confront the corruption that infects financial systems. Unmask the pervasive Secular Religion of Money and diagnose how the market's ""invisible hand"" is Mammon's greatest theological deception, promising security while demanding sacrifice. Explore how fallen structures (Principalities and Powers) twist justice into exploitation. Redemption: Witness God's economic revolution in the Incarnation. Christ's deliberate choice to embrace poverty (Kenosis) redefines wealth, and the Cross redefines value through sacrificial love. The Resurrection Economy transforms all things, empowering us to seek first the Kingdom Economy and cultivate contentment through sanctification. Restoration: Gain the eternal perspective. Learn that current financial stewardship is eternal training for reigning with Christ in the restored creation. Discover how using worldly wealth to gain friends allows you to store up Treasures in Heaven that last forever-ultimately preparing for the Final Economy where all currency ceases, and only love remains. This book is an invitation to freedom: freedom from money's tyranny, from the anxiety of scarcity, and from the seduction of greed. By transferring your career and finances into God's hands, you will align the most confusing, chaotic, and compelling part of your daily life-your money-with the eternal, unshakeable will of the living God. Your financial life can be an act of worship that points the world to the beauty of the Gospel. Money Theology matters for you.
