GROVE CITY, Pa. – Dr. Shawn Ritenour, Grove City College professor of economics, recently released “Foundations of Economics: A Christian View,” a textbook crafted as an introduction to economic principles.
“Foundations of Economics: A Christian View” maintains that there is no conflict between Christian doctrine and economic science when properly understood. The text demonstrates how economic laws are derived from Christian understanding. It explains basic principles of market economy, applies them to the problems of today and shows the relationship between Christian ethics and economic policy.
Dr. Thomas E. Woods, Jr., a “New York Times” bestseller, praised Ritenour’s work as “everything a textbook on economics should be: clear, well organized, easy to understand and interesting.” The textbook was released in December 2009 and is published by Wipf and Stock Publishers.
Adjunct scholar at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Ritenour has lectured for the Acton Institute and Institute for Principle Studies. A Grove City College faculty member since 2001, Ritenour has taught economics for 13 years, served as guest professor for the University of Angers in France and has been an economist for the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
