The OIKOS Papers on Work, Family and Faith
Twelve short papers introducing a way we might think about the connections between family life, economics, faith, and the land that supports us all. They arose as discussion guides for the OIKOS Project on Work, Family and Faith, which my wife Sylvia and I conducted from 1984 to the mid-’90s. They include papers on the basic concept of the “oikos” as it applies to stewardship, vocation, marriage, management, faith, parenting and other issues.
