A Theology for Christian Stewardship by T. A. Kantonen has been a standard stewardship text since it was first published in 1955. It continues to be widely studied and widely quoted.
“It is high time,” says Kantonen, “to examine stewardship from the point of view of the theology of the gospel. A clear view of the intimate relation between evangelical theology and stewardship is of vital concern to both. Both have their starting point in an encounter with the living Christ. Theology seeks to think out the meaning of that encounter. Stewardship seeks to live it out.”
“It is my earnest hope,” says Kantonen, “that this book will serve the twofold purpose of affording ministers and theological students a bridge from doctrinal theology to the actual life and work of the church and helping Christian laymen to obtain a firmer grasp of the Christian truth which gives substance and purpose to their activities in the Lord’s service.”
