With the popularity of Bernie Sanders presidential run in 2016 and the increasing embrace of forms of socialism by critics of capitalism, the time is right for a vigorous examination of the virtues and vices of market capitalism. Scott and Sean interview Dr. Ken Barnes, Director of the Mockler Center for Faith and Ethics in the Workplace, about his new book, Redeeming Capitalism. Join us for this stimulating conversation about the intersection of Christian faith and economics, from the perspective of both a trained theologian and a long time business executive. 

Dr. Ken Barnes is Director of the Mockler Center for Faith and Ethics at Gordon Conwell Seminary in Boston. He has had a long career as a global business executive and he holds several theological degrees--an M.A.T.S. from Gordon-Conwell, an M.Div. from New Brunswick Theological Seminary, M.Phil. from Kings College, University of London in Church History and Doctrine, and D.Min. from Reformed Theological Seminary in Chaplaincy and Apologetics.
