Why Seek Profits?: A Missional Perspective On Business, Jooho Lee
Why Seek Profits?: A Missional Perspective On Business, Jooho Lee
All Faculty Open Access Publications
There are plenty of good reasons to be suspicious about profit-seeking. There are also good reasons to be suspicious about attempts to justify the pursuit of profits by focusing solely on the value of profits or of the work that produces the profits.

Missiology And International Justice Mission Introduction, Grace Robertson
Global Tides
International Justice Mission has a pervasive presence. It is one of the most prominent modern missionary agencies and within this role it serves as a symbol of Christianity pursuing justice. Because of this important position both within the Christian faith as well as on the global platform, it is imperative that International Justice Mission is analyzed with regard to missiology. With the purpose of examining International Justice Mission through the lens of missiology, first the history of International Justice Mission will be discussed. Then the theology of International Justice Mission will be investigated with specific regard to motivation, means, agents, …
