Abstract
- The article examines the benefits of exploring what the Bible says about human flourishing, as understanding of wellbeing in the Global North, particularly in affluent middle-class Australia, is said to be far removed from a biblical view. It discusses a passage in Deuteronomy suggesting that human flourishing is a consequence of obeying the commandments of God. It also outlines how the idols of self and power shape mainstream human wellbeing in middle-class Australian culture.
