Why This Course Matters

Every day, Christians face real economic questions. The Bible contains a full economic course for sound stewardship, and not just devotionals or occasional platitudes. This course is designed to use biblical principles, with historical illustrations from America’s past and Biblical history as well. Here are just some of the questions we will answer, beginning on Tuesday September 8, 2026:

$ How do prices tell us what is happening in the economy?

$ Why do some families struggle because they do not understand markets, debt, liquidity, or risk?

$ Why do some nations prosper while others remain poor?

$ What does the Bible really teach about wealth, poverty, work, business, and generosity?

This course helps Christians think clearly about economics through Scripture, history, and real life.

Dr. Wayne C. Sedlak brings decades of experience in business, economics, teaching, and biblical studies. He also brings his reputation as a linguist, with expertise in biblical languages including Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. This matters because biblical truth must be understood with precision—and that truth affects the way we live, work, think, plan, invest, give, and serve.

This course uses real developments in American history, biblical history, and patterns of economic development to help students understand the “science of money” and its impact on their lives, families, churches, businesses, and communities.

“The Science of Money”

This course also introduces key issues designed to reveal “The Science of Money”, including:

• Supply and demand, and how they directly affect daily life
• Marginal utility, and how far one can wisely and safely commit resources
• Market liquidity and why it matters to families, investors, and businesses
• Incentives, responsibility, and freedom
• Wealth creation, stewardship, and wise risk

This course is designed to help Christians understand the world more clearly, make wiser decisions, and apply biblical truth to economics, work, family, and society.
