  • The Economy of God, published in 1968, is one of the principal books by Witness Lee, Christian preacher and leader of the Local Church sect in the United States. Lee, mormally known as Changshou Li, is a Chinese citizen who established the Local Church sect. Lee contends that the central revelation of the Bible is that God wants to impart Himself into man for His full expression in the Local Church. This is God's plan, God's economy and the subject of this book. Lee writes the move of the Divine Trinity according to His economy and gives believers practical ways to cooperate with God for the fulfilment of His eternal plan. In the book, "The economy of God" is a quotation from 1 Timothy 1:4, according to the Greek. "Economy" is the Greek word "oikonomia", which primarily signifies the household management, the household administration, arrangement and distribution, or dispensation. The word "economy" is used with the intention of stressing the focal point of God's divine enterprise, which is to distribute, or dispense, Himself into man. The key verses are 1 Timothy chapter one, verses 3 through 7: "... that you might charge certain ones not to teach different things, not to give heed to myths and unending genealogies, which produce questionings rather than a dispensation of God (Gk. God's Economy) which is in faith. But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and out of a good conscience and out of unfeigned faith; from which things some, having misaimed (Gk. missed the mark), have turned aside to vain talking; desiring to be the teachers of the law..."
  • 《神的经营》 （The Economy of God）是美国华裔基督徒领袖李常受最为知名的著作之一。李常受是倪柝声的同工，他基于他的职事及其对神的行动的领悟，揭示圣经的中心启示 — 神的计划（经营、经纶）要将他自己分赐到人里面，以在教会中得到完全的彰显。李写道，神圣三一根据他经纶而有的行动，使信徒与他合作，以使他永远的计划得以完成。“神的经营（经纶）”一词引用自提摩太前书1:4，希腊语原文为“oikonomia”，意为家庭经营、家庭管理、安排和分配等。
