Notes
The purpose of this BAM Bibliography is to serve as a resource for scholars and practitioners on the topic of business as mission. This ‘living bibliography’ is hosted on the Business as Mission Resource Library, having been built from an original published biography by Dr. Steve Rundle.
This bibliography includes relevant and noteworthy publications in the areas of social enterprise, business as mission and ‘tentmaking’. To keep things manageable and focused, it does not survey the vast field of literature related to faith and economics, faith and work, or faith and business ethics. Those interested in such topics are encouraged to look at the Work and Faith Collection of The Center for Faithful Business as Seattle Pacific University at https://cfb.spu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Work_and_Faith_Collection.pdf and the Faith and Work Bibliography of the Mockler Center for Faith and Ethics in the Workplace Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary at https://www.theologyofwork.org/uploads/general/Faith-and-Work-Bibliography-Barnett.pdf.
