Eden's Bridge Information

Eden’s Bridge is multi-faceted. It is a ministry offering insight into the role of the marketplace in the Kingdom of God. This is done best in Eden’s Bridge: The Marketplace in Creation and Mission (© 2011 by David B. Doty, available from Wipf & Stock Publishers, December 2011). Eden’s Bridge, the book, is the first articulation of a biblically-based theology of the marketplace as an institution of God. Eden’s Bridge is an ongoing exploration of the interaction of Christian faith and economics, and the marketplace and Christian vocation, with particular focus toward the function and roles of the marketplace and marketplace Christians in advancing the Kingdom of God. The current focus is on articulating a view of economics aligned with the Bible particularly concerning eschatology, the study of the last things or days (eschata) preceding the return of Christ to earth, via a research and writing project entitled Downside Up: The Kingdom of God and Economic Potential (projected availability: December, 2012). Eden’s Bridge as a ministry is focused on facilitating economic justice through market mechanisms and equipping programs, such as micro-economic development, support ministries (offering assistance in sustainable funding for not-for-profit organizations, organizational and staff development, revenue generation, marketing, research, and connection), and educational discussions across a broad spectrum of participants.
