Gospel Economics

By: Hundu, Jacob T.

Gospel Economics: Money, Power, Integrity, and the Moral Economy of Christian Ministry examines the ethical and spiritual place of money in Christian ministry. The book argues that financial resources are necessary for evangelism, benevolence, teaching, and ministerial support, but they become dangerous when they control motives, leadership, relationships, or ministry decisions. It explores ministerial calling, compensation, financial accountability, church leadership, fundraising, donor influence, prosperity teaching, lifestyle, nepotism, conflicts of interest, vulnerable givers, and corruption. Through biblical reflection, contemporary scholarship, and anonymized case studies, the book advocates contentment, transparency, responsible stewardship, verification, shared financial responsibility, and protection of vulnerable members. Its central message is that money must remain a servant of the gospel rather than become its master, while churches develop financial systems that reflect truth, integrity, accountability, and Christian care.
