Jeff Van Duzer (JD, Yale Law School) is professor emeritus of business law and ethics at Seattle Pacific University. Before retiring Jeff served as dean of the School of Business and Economics and then as provost of the university. During his tenure as dean, Jeff led an initiative to launch and fund what became the Center for Faithful Business. Before serving at SPU, Jeff served as a partner in a national law firm.
"Van Duzer has given us a new paradigm for business and a framework
to review it. This book is well suited for undergraduate business
classes as students explore and learn about being a Christian in
business as well as a Christian business owner. Pastors would gain
to read this volume, as it would help them prepare and counsel
those in their churches who are in business. Van Duzer has shown
that a different way of looking at Christians in business is not
only beneficial, but necessary."
*Gavin Baker, Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall 2012*
"This book should be standard reading for business students of
faith, giving them the theological undergirding of the vocation of
business as a sacred calling from God. It affirms that it is
possible to do business well and profitably by viewing it this
way--as a service to the community and to employees."
*Scott B. Rae, Journal of Markets and Morality, Vol. 14, No. 1*
"This book is a necessary read for any businessperson who takes
both their business and faith seriously. Almost more important,
however, is that this book should be read by Christians outside of
the business world."
*Craig Martin, The Marketplace, March-April 2011*
