ABSTRACT

Research on social enterprise as a means of solving the capitalist problem of market failure and government failure is increasing. However, research on Christian social enterprises is insufficient. Therefore, this research examined the principles and models of Christian social enterprises demonstrated in the Story of Ruth. To begin with, this study analyzes the current status of Christian social enterprises, and it delves into the Story of Ruth as well as the stories of Hesed and Go’el, with the perspective of agape care and the social safety net of the community. This study suggests seven principles and eight models of Christian social enterprise. Additionally, the research advances the notion that there exists not only the social value of neighborly love but also the unique value of God’s love. Thus, this research has done an interdisciplinarity study with a new perspective on the principles and models of Christian social enterprises by biblical stories as it searches Christian social enterprises systematically and comprehensively from the perspective of Christian values.
