Because Christians often share widespread fear and despair about the economy with the general public, they could benefit from reflecting on Scriptural reasons for hope while also considering scientific bases for hope. With the background provided in this essay, readers will be equipped to share important reasons for informed optimism with those most in need of it. From this vantage point, we hope that readers will be drawn into deeper reflection on Christian hope that is grounded in Gods love, creation, and promises.
