About the Book

In many parts of today's global economy, the moral foundations of society are being tested by a business culture that is given to the good of business owners, rather than the good of the human person and society. The widening gulf between business economics and ethics begs for a vigorous response informed by what is best in the human spirit. This places a responsibility upon business people that calls to faith for perspective. God and Mammon discusses the ages-old, but ever-new conflict between God and Mammon in business. These seven chapters speak of the need for God in business today. Together, the chapters of this book build toward a comprehensive ethic of business administration. God and Mammon finds that business today needs to serve the human person, who is a creative being in the image of God.

About the Author :
Lloyd E. Sandelands teaches business administration and psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His research focuses on the social and spiritual life of business. He is the author of Feeling and Form in Social Life (1998, Rowman & Littlefield), Male and Female in Social Life(2001, Transaction), Thinking about Social Life (2003, University Press of America), Man and Nature in God (2005, Transaction), and An Anthropological Defense of God (2007, Transaction).

Review :
[An] incisive book, Sandelands weaves together business, society and religion in a vigorous and compelling thesis that simultaneously educates, provokes, and reveals. What Sandelands accomplishes is profound; he draws the reader into his deep and thoughtful consideration of the necessary interconnectedness of work, life, and God. He sets his sights on "the wonder of the corporation"…and how it is both a product of, and yet beholding to, broader forces that arise within cultural currents, the higher power of God, and, most astutely, what it means to be human. While the truth revealed in this book is timeless, its publication is timely…This book is as much a meditation on the future of business as it is a diagnosis of what ails us. Anyone remotely interested in business needs to read this book.
