A critical review of Doing Well by Doing Good by Brendan J. Barnicle, exploring Business as Mission (BAM), church-based economic enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and the theological divide over whether explicit Christian witness should remain central to faith-driven business initiatives.
Your article is my first exposure to BAM. To me, it sounds like a somewhat Christian evangelicalized form of what I have always called Socially Responsible Capitalism. Am I off-base?
It feels like many in the progressive halls of the church are more like functional deists than actually Christians.
Not sure you're wrong

It is 100% evangelical. I’m not trying to be a BAM apologist, just rather saying I don’t think the author is representing it accurately.
Can you recommend an accurate book about BAM for me? I’ve had no exposure to the concept and am always interested in learning something new.
Did you see my links at the bottom?
Don’t mind me- I scroll faster than I read sometimes. …. I’ve got the links. Thanks!
