Synopsis

What does the Bible have to say about work? This one-of-a-kind Bible resource answers that very question.

The Theology of Work Bible Commentary is an in-depth Bible study tool put together by a group of Bible scholars and business-people. The content is from TheologyofWork.org, and has never before been in print. It reveals what the Bible says about all kinds of work and offers insight from every single book of the Bible. This volume is part of a multi-volume series and covers Romans through Revelation.

Pastors will find these volumes helpful as they consider the Bible's perspective on work when teaching on particular passages or topics. Professors may use the commentary to help prepare classes or as a textbook for students. Laypeople may find practical help for workplace decisions, or they may read it as part of their personal or group Bible study.

The Theology of Work Project is an independent, international organization dedicated to researching, writing, and distributing materials with a biblical perspective on work. Its mission is to help people explore what the Christian faith can contribute to ordinary work, and it is developing resources for the most significant topics in today's workplace, such as calling, ethics, truth and deception, motivation, compensation, and more. Books created by the Theology of Work Project include the Bible and Your Work Study Series, and the Theology of Work Bible Commentaries.

Review

The Theology of Work Project is providing desperately needed resources
to pastors and the entire church on what the Bible has to say about our
work. I hope that every pastor will preach regularly on how the gospel
changes the way we work and sometimes the work that we do. And I
hope that every Christian will see the ways their work connects to God s
work!
Tim Keller, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City,
Author of "Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God s Work"
"

Did you ever wonder what your work has to do with your faith? The short
answer is everything, and now you can read all about it in this Theology
of Work Bible Commentary, now in print for the first time. Heartily
recommended.
Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author of "Bonhoeffer: Pastor,
Martyr, Prophet, Spy"
"

This series is a magnificent contribution to one of the most neglected
themes in Christian ethics. Avoiding the easy anachronism of finding a
few proof-texts that might apply to modern work, the authors let the
distinctive voices and broader themes of Scripture illuminate our working
life. The conversation about faith and work is deeper and richer thanks to
the Theology of Work Project.

"Culture Making" and "Playing God"
