While studying the book of Acts, chapter 4 verse 32 through chapter 5 verse 16, a Biblical view dealing with economics was presented. Therefore, this study on the topic was prompted.

The Bible is not an economics text book, but it does have a lot to say on the topic. This series will focus on the Biblical framework details of economics. In the Bible, economics is not only a study of money, but it is also a study of value and labor. Money can be a tool, a medium of exchange, for goods and services. Value systems brings into play ethical standards, some way of making decisions, and priorities.

This series is part of the "2010 Acts" series. Since it is also an important study by itself, we are presenting this portion as a separate series.
