This book examines what Deuteronomy has to say about human rights and the role of government, culture, and investment in creating a flourishing and prosperous society. By exploring the political-economic principles Deuteronomy lays out as well as other parts of the Bible, Baugus argues that those principles are still applicable today and can be valuable in helping developing nations to become prosperous and in helping developed nations, many of which seem to have lost sight of these principles, stay that way. Milk and Honey will be of interest to scholars and students who are curious about what the ancient foundational texts of Western civilization have to say about prosperity, growth, and what a flourishing political economy looks like.

Recenzijas

"I cant tell you how refreshing it is to read a scholar who takes the Bible seriously as a teacher of wisdom, without adopting a fideist approach of interest solely to believers. Brian Baugus makes an intriguing claim: that the law of Deuteronomy is a form of constitutional arrangement for Israel, not unlike our own Constitution, and as such embodies a vision not of law solely, but also of the culture and habits of mind necessary for a society to flourish. Baugus is especially deft at revealing the astonishing amount of freedom God grants the human person." -- Andreas Widmer, Director of the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship at The Catholic University of America
