This project seeks to evaluate the influence of various religions on
health, education and the economy by measuring religious distinctions and the
resulting impact
on national, community and individual levels in societies
around the world.
More than a decade
in the making, Creation is a true example of faith,
dreams and science coming together. It includes
an overview of current social trends, debunks retirement
myths, and contents that successful retirement
results from identifying a
higher purpose in life that leads to emotional fulfillment.chivalric universalism
(Logo:
http://www. The Spiritual Capital Research Program will fund high-
level research that could lead
to new understandings of religion's role in
economic, social and political life. It will also facilitate
a broader
range of study by bringing together a network of scholars, to be
known as the Institute
for Economic Research on Civilizations (IERC), to
promote comparative research and raise the level
of discourse on the role of
various religions and forms of spiritual capital in the economic performance
of civilizations. One section will analyze the impact of 150 years of
missionary activity; a
second section will analyze the economic consequences
of Pentecostal conversions in Brazil; a third
section will focus on the
influence of revivalist Islam and Christianity in rural Malawi. Full grant
applications will then be invited for a total of $1.

The aim of the Spiritual Capital Research
Program is to catalyze the development of this
interdisciplinary research
field, which may become a vital new field in the social sciences. Michael
Guillen, PhD, a
Harvard University professor and former ABC News Correspondent was the ideal
fit
. "Michael has the ability to think as a scientist, but explain his
position in a way that I understood
," says Milner. "But it does not contradict the treasured force of my faith. Now, wherever and whenever
people
listen to audio books, they'll have the option of listening to, as well as
reading, our
books that extend the dialogue between science and religion,
promote ethical values and the development
of character, and encourage a
humble approach in all of life's endeavors. Koenig with Gregg Lewis

Since then, social scientists have vigorously debated the concept of
social capital

relatively understudied. Letters of intent
