Successful entrepreneurs, like Jesus, are characterized by a unique entrepreneur mindset. This is a human mindset that integrates intellectual, emotional, and spiritual not religious intelligence in seeking to deliver real added value to users. So, the question arises, was Jesus a social entrepreneur, utilizing all the principles we consider today as foundational to an entrepreneur mindset? To address the question, this book seeks to evaluate three areas relevant to the formation of Jesus in 1st Century CE Judea and Galilee, his period of ministry and miracles, and consider Jesus’ use of the creation laws of physics in selected miracles. In considering whether the concepts of Jesus and that of a social entrepreneur mindset are compatible, a relevant entrepreneurial ecosystem is applied to his life experiences. In explaining Jesus’ behavior to and events of the nature miracles, a conceptual bridge between the realities of science and spirit is evaluated. The hypothesis examined in each case is that Jesus used his enhanced powers of human intention, interconnectedness, mindset, and close personal relationship with the Holy Spirit to affect the observed miracle using the natural mechanisms of physics and science.
