Missing Elements: Improving Our Preparation of Christian Students for the Business World

Abstract

The church has not always been very helpful in encouraging people grow as followers of Christ in the world of business. This paper is a qualitative study centering on interviews with 28 business leaders about how they apply their faith to their occupation. The business leaders identified issues that Christians need to be aware of in thinking about taking their faith to work. They also expressed critical concerns that they feel are not being addressed well for people who are entering the business world out of college.
