Is good ethics good business? This is a challenge my ethics students ponder for a whole semester. This new book on Christian ethics makes a welcome contribution into this space by looking at ethical issues in the workplace with a Christian perspective. The book is Honourable in Business: Business Ethics from a Christian Perspective by Annetta Gibson and Daniel Augsburger (2019, WIPF & Stock)
Drawing from the Bible as the ethical foundation, the authors make a strong case that God is interested in how we do business, and that He provides numerous principles and tips on how we should do business as Christians. Numerous case studies are explored, which brings the discussion from theory to practice with some very useful and interesting conclusions and recommendations.
This book has been written for use as a textbook, or for practitioners who want to dig into the ethical issues they may face in the workplace and find some tips. It is really well organised, and very easy to read.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in ethics, or ethical business practices.
