The topic is this: Economics is often over looked by Christians and is largely missing from most world view discussions. The reasons for this are probably varied but come down to s simple fact that few study economics and fewer are comfortable discussing the topic or truly understand it. Also economics, business and commercial life in general have been and still are viewed as unseemly and even dirty by many church leaders for centuries.

Pick a topic or an issue and explain how economics has informed and changed/completed your understanding and view of that topic. Examples may include the economic understanding of "Thou shall not steal", how economic understanding improves stewardship, a better response to poverty, the value of the law to economic development, the application of 1 Samuel 8 to modern government, etc. This is far from a comprehensive list and the blogs and websites of the Acton Institute and the Institute for Faith, Work and Economics may provide many more ideas. You are free and encouraged to approach this in what ever creative way* you want but it must contain the following points:

1. 1. Yours or the common understanding of the issue/command
2. 2. The insight economic analysis provides
3. 3. How Christians can improve their service/understanding in light of the economic analysis
4. 4. sources used
