About this title

Review

"

""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.""

""There are many popular books on the doctrine of work and a few on the theology of work.But this is the first to investigate the biblical text book by book in order to glean insights into work from God's perspective. . . . This book helps Christian workers to relate their labor to God and thereby make their work holy and meaningful. "
