    摘要註: This unique work analyses what the Gospel of Luke says about management, as interpreted via a first-century understanding of management, drawing implications for contemporary organization and management theory and practice. Luke presents a counter-cultural approach to management, and in particular promotes the creation of organizations that include social outcasts and serve to minimize the gap between rich and poor. Because it brings much-needed scholarly rigor to a growing field, this reader-friendly book promises to become the classic 'go to' book for anyone truly interested in studying what the Bible says about managing organizations.
