Zum Handwerkszeug eines guten Finanzanalytikers und Unternehmensberaters gehört es auch, Sachverhalte oder geplante Entscheidungen kritisch anhand philosophischer Hypothesen zu testen.
Oft kommt man so zu erstaunlichen und unerwarteten Einsichten, die das vorgegebene Problem lösen helfen.
Wer sich nicht scheut, dabei auch solche Schriften heranzuziehen, die einen “religious touch” haben – oder gar von “missionarischem Eifer” geprägt sind, wird z.B. in Bezug zur aktuellen wirtschaftlichen Situation nützliche Erkenntnise gewinnen.
So what is the doctrine of nonaccumulation? Quite simply, it is the
doctrine stating that Jesus forbids His people to accumulate wealth on this earth, but rather commands them to distribute those possessions they do not currently need for the needs of others and for spreading the gospel.Or to condense it into a few words, this doctrine says that Jesus commands us to distribute rather than accumulate earthly wealth.
That, in a nutshell, is the definition for the doctrine of nonaccumulation. This definition, by itself, does not address any of the questions about how or to what extent we are to put this doctrine into practice. All such questions (“May we do this?” or “Must we do that?” or “What about this situation?”) must, for now, simply be left hanging.
The primary question we address at this point, rather, is simply this: Is this doctrine, as stated, a true doctrine or a false doctrine? It has to be one or the other. It cannot be both. This book’s purpose is to help you, the reader, find the answer to this question.
