"If God were to sit back and write a mission statement for the institution of business as a whole, what would he put on that mission statement?" In his talk, originally given at the Gospel & Culture Lecture series put on by the Center for Faith and Work in New York City, Jeff Van Duzer answers this difficult question with professional acumen and biblical insight. As we struggle with questions of economics and society, income and inequality in and outside the church, everyone can benefit from this talk. Van Duzer is currently serving as the provost at Seattle Pacific University where he oversees everything that influences the student experience.

This talk serves as an illustration of "God Brings the Material World into Being (Genesis 1:2)" in Genesis 1-11 and Work.
