Thinking Biblically Study Series - Capitalism

As cultural favor shifts toward alternative economic models, how should the Christian view the principles of the free market? In this installment of the Thinking Biblically series, we define economics not just as the study of scarce resources, but as the cultivation of creation for the provision of human needs. We examine the core tenets of capitalism (private property), price discovery, and limited government intervention; against the framework of Scripture. Discover why a system built on voluntary exchange and individual responsibility aligns more closely with biblical justice and remains the most effective engine for lifting the poor out of poverty. 00:00:00 Introduction: Shifting Views on Capitalism 00:02:45 Defining Economics: Secular vs Biblical 00:05:13 The Four Pillars of Biblical Economics 00:07:05 Genesis 1: The Dominion Mandate and Stewardship 00:09:03 Work as Glory: Purpose Before and After the Fall 00:12:42 Human Uniqueness and the Benefits of Trade 00:13:42 Currency and Serving Your Neighbor 00:14:41 Mutually Beneficial Arrangements 00:15:53 Capitalism vs Communism vs Socialism 00:17:22 Property Rights: God's Ownership and Human Entrustment 00:19:33 The Moral Law and Private Possessions 00:21:05 Accountability and the Role of Government 00:22:44 Addressing Acts 2: Was the Early Church Communist? 00:24:17 Price Discovery: Supply, Demand, and the Invisible Hand 00:26:54 The Impossibility of State-Set Prices 00:28:34 The Hand of Providence in the Marketplace 00:30:16 Injustice of Government Intervention 00:31:31 False Balances and Unequal Weights 00:33:20 The Failure of Forced Redistribution 00:34:52 Limits of Secular Economic Systems 00:36:05 Capitalism’s Record in Reducing Poverty 00:37:42 Addressing Greed and the Heart of the Worker 00:39:41 Taming Fallen Nature Through Free Exchange 00:42:04 Closing Prayer If you’re looking for a place to grow in your faith and connect with a local community, visit us at Mount Hermon Missionary Baptist Church.
