Projects
The Global Commerce Network is an incubator for ideas and philosophical models that reflect a biblical way of looking at the world of business and commerce. We have initiated and are funding research in four projects.
- Ongoing biblical research and development to enhance the groundbreaking Scriptural Roots of Commerce, including QuickStart Guides, Learning Paths, updates and revisions to existing modules, and developing new learning modules.
- A first-ever national study designed to discover and unleash the power of biblical spirituality in business. This research will examine the specific challenges businesses and business people face as a result of their faith. It will also describe “best practices” that emerge from a biblical worldview. Among other outcomes, the study will define recommendations for developing a business curriculum founded on a biblical worldview.
- Aggregating a world-class collection of topical quotations, scripture, reference material, and case studies on the values and spirituality of work and commerce.
- Developing methodologies for training, group learning and individual discovery; creating and directing forums and conferences on work, commerce, and biblical spirituality
We are also invested in research by our colleague, Dr. Peter S. Heslam, Director of the Transforming Business research and development project, at Cambridge University.
