Description
Addresses the intellectual and practical difficulties Christians face when thinking about faith and work in a modern context.
The book offers a critical examination of the Faith and Work Movement-an influential and well-funded social movement that seeks to help some Christians find religious meaning in secular professions. Reading “calling” and “vocation” through the doctrine of creation, it develops a theological account of human selfhood that sits, in several respects, uneasily with the Faith and Work Movement and with a range of other popular approaches to Christian thinking about work. Engaging figures and ideas from Max Weber to Effective Altruism, this book charts a path through contemporary confusions surrounding calling, vocation, and work.
