It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God - a good example of Jesus economics

thanks for the suggestions so far. I still didn't decide which one to go for.
@Jonathon: I took the definiton from the same text. but there is no further context regarding this phrase, it's just given.

@Gia, where did you get your definition? Tthere are lots of them out there

@Jonathan: I can relate to your suggestion in principle (as a committed Christian living by faith in the real world), although I would describe it differently. But we still do not know the context in Gia's source text.

the "economics of Jesus" = a belief that human life is priceless and no one should be exploited. it's in a text about an organization. nothing specific economic or religious.
I know that it has nothing to do with any real existing economic system but the author apparently wanted to give an economic nuance to it by giving this "heading". that's why I like nicoles answer so far.

it is an expression of the old adage "Tis better to give than to receive"

14:30 Feb 13, 2008 

the idea is that if you will be handsomely rewarded if you give everything over to Jesus - nothing to do with any real existing economic system

Haste nicht'n klein wenig Kontext?
Ist das ein wissenschaftlicher Text, ein Andachtsbuch, eine Predigt, ein religionskritischer Text? Geht es um einen umfassenden Wirtschaftsbegriff oder um sein Handeln in einer spezifischen Situation?
