D1. Van Duzer’s big-picture thinking

Van Duzer’s big-picture thinking (as delineated in Why Business Matter to God) can be interpreted as follows: 

· Creation—God created all things good, including business; 

· Fall—all things have fallen from that original goodness; 

· Redemption—God has redeemed and is transforming all things back to their original goodness, including business; and

· Consummation—Christ will return and usher in the completely renewed heaven and earth, wherein business-like activity may still be conducted, but perfectly so.
