LARRY BURKETT, head of Christian Financial Concepts, has written a number of books on money issues as seen from a Christian standpoint. According to an article by Larry Eskridge, in Investing by the Book (1992) Burkett notes that King Solomon, who was noted for his great wisdom, was also a good investor.
As Eskridge summarizes the message: "[from parts of the Bible traditionally attributed to Solomon, the king] diversified his investments (Eccl. 11:2: 'Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the Earth'). He invested ethically (Eccl. 12:13: 'Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments'). And he relied upon good counsel (Prov. 15:22: 'Without consultation, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established')."
