DISCUS
SION
BRIBERY
“Bribery is the practice of offering a professional money or other favors in order to circumvent ethics in a
variety of professions. It is a form of corruption and is generally illegal, or at least cause for penalties from
professional organizations.”

The Christian perspective
Being based upon the foundation of the Jewish Old Testament, includes all of the above citations. In
addition, the following citations are added from the Christian New Testament: Simon the Sorcerer tried to
buy the power that he perceived in the laying on of hands by the Apostles and Simon Peter chastised him
in Acts 8:17-22.
DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender etc. is generally considered abhorrent in the
teachings of all faiths.
CORRUPTION
Like bribery other forms of corruption are considered immoral in religious scriptures. This extends to
nepotism, abuse of power, personal gain or enrichment using one’s position, and other abuses of power or
position.

Moral decay, Genesis 6:11-13
5 And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
The Christian Perspective
Peter, the chief of the Apostles, cautions against corruption and the effects it has upon the body in 2 Peter
2:12-19.
INJUSTICE
That which violates another’s rights
From a reading of the revealed scriptures, it is clear that these have a universal goal – to create a
just society. A strict interpretation of most scriptures is a healthy antidote to those who have reservations
regarding the moral teachings of the major monotheistic faiths. The teachings are remarkably consistent
that injustice in either the private or the public domain is to be resisted and eliminated.

2005 Proceedings of the Midwest Business Economics Association 160 The Christian perspective supports
government as a legitimate institution instituted by God for the welfare of mankind. Part of the right and
obligation of government is to tax citizens and businesses in support of the general welfare. Payment of
proper taxes is supported by Matthew 22:17-21
