The goal of Theology and Religious Studies is wisdom.This wisdom is gained by pursuing questions raised by the religions, between the religions and about the religions. Prof. David Ford. Cambridge.
Transforming Business
Transforming Business is a research and development project that analyses and catalyses the contribution of faith and entrepreneurship to human flourishing.
We pay particular attention to the role of faith-based leadership in building successful businesses that both draw on and increase social capital – the institutional, relational, moral and spiritual aspects of society.
Against the background of the global entrepreneurial revolution and rise of Christianity, our research questions include the following:
- How does the convergence of Christian faith and enterprise help tackle poverty?
- How do Christian business leaders understand their vocation and how do they seek to inspire and equip those considering a call to business?
- How does Christian belief and practice foster innovation, integrity, well-being and responsible risk-taking?
We believe such questions are crucial to the future of the planet and its people. In addressing them, we aim to help fulfil the mission of the University of Cambridge, which is ‘to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence’.
