Economy

Economy

“a term which properly means the arrangement of a household (), but is also frequently employed by ecclesiastical writers for the practical measures adopted in order to give effect to a divine dispensation. The Jewish economy included all the details of spiritual and secular government, but the Christian economy, belonging to a ‘kingdom not of this world,’ has no direct reference to political arrangements.” SEE DISPENSATION.
