Economists and Table Servers

NEW YORK, June 20, 2012—What does the Christian faith have to do with economics? Assistant Professor of Business and Economics Brian Brenberg recently spoke to Comment Magazine, focusing the discussion on Acts chapter 6.

“When I speak to an audience,” Brenberg said, “I assume most won't be called to ‘full-time ministry.’ Most will be ‘table servers’—designers, builders, financiers, and deliverers of everyday stuff.” Furthermore, he explained, “most won't recognize their work as a calling, because few of us behind the lectern or in the pulpit ever talk about it this way. In Acts 6, verse two gets all of the attention.”

It isn’t just those in vocational ministry, however, that advance God’s kingdom. “Table servers advance God's Kingdom from nine to five,” Brenberg argues. “If they don't know this, they won't be very good at it. They're my audience, and my work is to show them that their work has eternal significance.”

During the interview, Professor Brenberg also speaks out on Biblical perspectives of economics, as well as on why so many Christians seem uninterested in the study of economics.
