Acton books distributed to schools by Theological Book Network
Aug 15, 2026 3:22 AM

The Acton Institute recently donated a number of titles on faith, work, and economics to the Theological Book Network which will distribute them to its partner institutions in what it calls the ‘Majority World’ (‘Majority World’ is a term coined to replace earlier sometimes anachronistic or misleading terms like ‘Third World’ or ‘Developing World’). The Theological Book Network is a Grand Rapids based non-profit,

mitted to the creation and development of Majority World leaders by providing access to educational resources from the West and by assisting in the production and dissemination of local resources, contributing to the practice of theological reflection on the needs and goals of the Majority World Church.”

Acton is excited to help the Theological Book Network in its mission. Titles to be distributed included Economic Shalom: A Reformed Primer on Faith, Work, and Human Flourishing, Flourishing Faith: A Baptist Primer on Work, Economics, and Civic Stewardship, and Flourishing Churches and Communities: A Pentecostal Primer on Faith, Work, and Economics for Spirit Empowered Discipleship.

Acton Research continues to explore ways to work together with the Theological Book Network to provide educational resources to the future leaders of the Majority World Church.

You can learn more about this vital work by visiting the Theological Book Network’s website and aid this work through book donations or financial contributions.

Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Psalm 51:1-6   (Read Psalm 51:1-6)   David, being convinced of his sin, poured out his soul to God in prayer for mercy and grace. Whither should backsliding children return, but to the Lord their God, who alone can heal them? he drew up, by Divine teaching, an account of the workings of his heart toward...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Mark 6:1-6   (Read Mark 6:1-6)   Our Lord's countrymen tried to prejudice the minds of people against him. Is not this the carpenter? Our Lord Jesus probably had worked in that business with his father. He thus put honour upon mechanics, and encouraged all persons who eat by the labour of their hands. It becomes...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 2 Timothy 3:1-9   (Read 2 Timothy 3:1-9)   Even in gospel times there would be perilous times; on account of persecution from without, still more on account of corruptions within. Men love to gratify their own lusts, more than to please God and do their duty. When every man is eager for what he can...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Psalm 119:9-16   (Read Psalm 119:9-16)   To original corruption all have added actual sin. The ruin of the young is either living by no rule at all, or choosing false rules: let them walk by Scripture rules. To doubt of our own wisdom and strength, and to depend upon God, proves the purpose of holiness...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Mark 12:28-34   (Read Mark 12:28-34)   Those who sincerely desire to be taught their duty, Christ will guide in judgment, and teach his way. He tells the scribe that the great commandment, which indeed includes all, is, that of loving God with all our hearts. Wherever this is the ruling principle in the soul, there...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Psalm 91:1-8   (Read Psalm 91:1-8)   He that by faith chooses God for his protector, shall find all in him that he needs or can desire. And those who have found the comfort of making the Lord their refuge, cannot but desire that others may do so. The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Proverbs 3:27-35   (Read Proverbs 3:27-35)   Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be...
Verse of the Day
  1 Peter 5:10 In-Context   8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.   9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.   10 And the God of all grace, who...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 1 Peter 4:7-11   (Read 1 Peter 4:7-11)   The destruction of the Jewish church and nation, foretold by our Saviour, was very near. And the speedy approach of death and judgment concerns all, to which these words naturally lead our minds. Our approaching end, is a powerful argument to make us sober in all worldly...
Verse of the Day
  Romans 5:15 In-Context   13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law.   14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is...
