This presentation explores Andrew Carnegie’s “The Gospel of Wealth” (1889) through the lens of biblical interpretation and moral philosophy. It examines how Carnegie drew upon Christian teachings—particularly the concepts of stewardship, charity, and divine responsibility—to justify his vision of wealth and philanthropy in the Gilded Age. The discussion contrasts Carnegie’s interpretation of biblical principles, such as the “stewardship” of riches, with traditional Christian understandings of poverty, humility, and communal care. By analyzing both Carnegie’s text and relevant scriptural passages, the presentation invites reflection on the ethical tensions between capitalism, faith, and social responsibility. Led by Charlotte Elia in the Pastors’ Gallery.
