Assignment:

You will develop a topical essay incorporating the principles of economics covered this semester as they consider a Biblical perspective on either poverty/economic injustice or materialism. Consider the questions listed in your essay based on your understanding of economic theory and Biblical instruction. Although no formal minimum or maximum length is required, the average submission that meets my expectations is typically around 2,000 words. However, I am much more concerned about quality than quantity. You are required to incorporate at least five external sources in your responses to the questions.
