We all are guests on earth! : a global Christian vision for climate justiceWorldwide, we are confronted with air pollution causing serious health risks, devastating storms as a result of climate change, water pollution and dead rivers, mega-waste in megacities, deforestation and growing deserts, peak oil as a sign for limited non-renewable fossil energy sources and never seen disastrous floods. The list of such environmental catastrophes in all parts of the world is huge. What can Christian faith contribute to meet these manifold environmental challenges, especially the global climate change? By exploring the position and task of human beings in the whole creation, Prof. Dr. Christoph Stueckelberger presents the answer to this basic anthropological question by identifying the key in Christian and interreligious environment ethics. Although exploitation, overconsumption, violation, and oppression by human beings threaten life in this wonderful guesthouse , we as guests are invited and are called to use it and to care for it as good stewards and ‘careholders’.

Christian Faith and ValuesFaith is the mainsail for the ship called "China Dream". With the debate of whether China's Economy may develop sustainably or if China may rise peacefully, the future of China draws attentions and concerns from the whole world. The destruction of environment, the degeneration of morality, and the explosion of social problems, they all lead people to the non-economic fields and help people realize that China, the growing giant, without the support of ethics and morality, will collapse sooner or later. The history proves that the sustainable development of a country or a nation always needs a special class who are not just developing economy, but also holding fast to ethics and morality. And the emerging group of Chinese Christian entrepreneurs are an essential part of this class for China. A key to the fulfillment of the "China Dream" is the revival of Chinese Civilization. The core of civilization is culture, and the core of culture is faith. Historians expect the emergence of Chinese Puritans; Pastors predict they will extend the "China Marvel" to a "China Miracle". Protestant faith can contribute for individuals as for the Chinese society as a whole. It is to see whether the controversial theory of Max Weber on religious ethics impacting economic performance will be proved right in China or not. Let us hope and work for it that Chinese Christian Entrepreneurs may apply the everlasting biblical principles in their business practice to pass the "positive energy" to the world as "salt and light" for a harmonious and sustainable transformation of society. The book is based on the above background, to provide help to Chinese Christian Entrepreneurs in understanding fundamental Christian faith and relative business ethics. Considering the requirements of making this book practical, from entrepreneurs’ point of view, we have sketched out the main content of Christianity in simple words, as an introduction to Christian Faith.
