Features
In October 2012, Cedarville hosted the American Dream Conference: Christian Perspectives on the Economy. The
conference was part of the Critical Concern Series exploring cultural issues of our day from a biblical perspective.
Keynote speakers included economists, authors, professors, andmarket researchers.Their areas of scholarship ranged from
Social Security administration and investment research to biblical perspectives on capitalism and the role of government.
In this debut issue of CedarvilleMagazine, we present a sampling of the keynote remarks as well as supporting perspectives
from our own Cedarville family. In these pages you will find men and women of faith who are thinking biblically about our
nation’s economy, our role as citizens, and how to appropriately steward God-given resources.
