DBU REPORT 28 On July 19, the Institute for Global Engagement, in conjunction with the New DBU Institute for Christian Economics, held a book signing and short session for Dr. Dave Arnott and Dr. Sergiy Saydometov. Dr. Jeff Johnson, Dean of the College of Business, kicked it off by giving a short introduction to the two authors and recalling the many years of experience he has had with both DBU professors. “It’s important to have these discussions on Biblical economics, and I could not be happier it is being led by these two leaders,” Dr. Adam Wright followed. “These are two of my great friends, scholars, authors, and Christian men.” The Institute for Christian Economics is a platform created by Dr. Dave Arnott, Dr. Jeff Johnson, and Dr. Sergiy Saydometov to help Christians engage in the world of economics in a biblical manner. The primary purpose of the ICE is to discover how Biblical truths affect the economy today and is made up of many resources spanning across written publications, online media, and academic materials. Dr. Jeff Johnson, Dean of the College of Business at DBU, is the administrator in charge of the Institute. What does the Bible say about economics? This is the question Dr. Dave Arnott and Dr. Sergiy Saydometov set out to answer in their new book, Biblical Economic Policy: Ten Scriptural Truths for Fiscal and Monetary Decision-Making. As Dr. Arnott and Dr. Saydometov note, “The Bible has something to say about all these critical present-day issues,” and their exploration into how the Bible and economics meet is thoroughly laid out in their work. Arnott and Saydometov explain that a free market is the most accurate and caring system of economics that we can formulate, centered heavily on loving your neighbor as yourself. As they connect Biblical truths with economic systems, both Arnott and Saydometov bring their knowledge, passion, and energy to promote a Biblical way of economic living. Dr. Arnott is the Professor of Management and has a B.A. from Greenville College, M.B.A from Texas A&M University Commerce, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. Sergiy Saydometov is the Associate Dean of the College of Business, Assistant Professor of Finance, and has a B.B.S from Dallas Baptist University and both an M.B.A and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington.
