New Book Discusses the Intersection of Church and Economy

"Churches cannot seem to agree how to get involved in socioeconomic development, a subject that certainly bears examination," says Dr. Richard Corker-Caulker. In his new book, 21st Century Foundation and Principles for Socioeconomic Development and Social Entrepreneurship (published by Trafford Publishing), Corker-Caulker, a religious scholar and researcher, shows readers how to become financially independent while adhering to biblical and spiritual principles.

Using a qualitative approach, Corker-Caulker outlines the theories that have justified various social programs. He also analyzes, interprets and explains how the church has responded to socioeconomic problems over the course of history.

"The book is about how belief affects socioeconomic development and social entrepreneurship," he explains.

Inspired by his work with the underprivileged around the world, Corker-Caulker delivers passionate and well-researched insights into economic development and individual identity as it relates to the image and likeness of God.

His profound analysis of theology and contemporary economics, particularly economic inequality, provides readers with numerous gems, which include discovering the relationship between the divine and humanity and why a relationship with God is important for communities.

When asked what encouraged him to write this new work, Corker-Caulker is introspective. "I want to contribute," he says. "I want to discover the problem."
