Despite contributing to its legitimacy and relevance, scholars have raised concerns that an economic paradigm may be limiting the future of entrepreneurship research. To address these concerns, we propose religion as an alternative and complementary foundation for our field's economic legacy by allowing for transformative research that embraces multiple perspectives. While religion has been generally neglected by

entrepreneurship scholars, it holds great promise because of its prevalence, centrality, established base of scientific inquiry, and ability to provide novel answers to emerging phenomena. We chart a new path for entrepreneurship that integrates religion and the “theological turn” in entrepreneurial processes and contexts and identify a number of key research questions. We believe the theological turn in entrepreneurship research builds on our past legitimacy, creates important possibilities to tackle emerging topics, and challenges us to move beyond our existing knowledge horizons to further advance the field of entrepreneurship.

创业学者，它因其普遍性、中心性、已建立的科学探究基础以及为新兴现象提供新答案的能力而具有广阔的前景。我们绘制了一条新的创业之路，将宗教与创业过程和背景中的“神学转向”相结合，并确定了一些关键的研究问题。我们相信创业研究的神学转向建立在我们过去的合法性基础上，为解决新兴主题创造了重要的可能性，并挑战我们超越现有的知识视野，进一步推进创业领域。
