Advanced Training Course in Biblical Economics
A Higher Education Course in Biblical Economics to deepen the economic, social and anthropological dimensions of biblical texts
The School of Biblical Economics (SEB)*** offers in-depth courses on the Bible through current reading and interpretation perspectives curated by Luigino Bruni.
In organizing it, special attention was given to religious congregations,
allowing entire congregations to participate by subscribing a single fee.
The course is offered to all who are interested in the topics covered in the Bible in relation to economics.
For the year 2025, in collaboration with the Sophia University Institute and the participation, in addition to Luigino Bruni, of Philippe Van den Heede, professor of Biblical Theology, and Beatrice Cerrino, professor of Fundamentals of Civil and Sustainable Economy, a Higher Education course is proposed dedicated to the ethical and anthropological foundations of the vision of the Economy that emerges from Biblical humanism, in dialogue with current events, their challenges and hopes.
The course aims to create a suitable space and time for reflection, both personal and shared,
on a secular and modern approach to life, relationships, communities and faith.
The word changes: with history, with people’s sorrows and joys, with our questions (‘Scripture grows with those who read it,’ Gregory the Great); but the word changes us, opens us to the unexpected, invites us to become what we are not yet.
