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. It reveals what the Bible says about all kinds of work and offers insight from every single book of the Bible.
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.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“This commentary is a revolutionary document! It does what no other commentary has done, which is to turn us around and to see what the Bible actually says about work... It is about time we saw that the Word of God gives meaning, purpose, perspective and practical guidelines for daily work. It is hard not to be enthusiastic about something that is just plain wonderful and transformative. This commentary can turn the church inside out as the people of God serve God full time from Monday to Friday.”
R. Paul Stevens Professor Emeritus
Marketplace Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC
“Bringing together serious biblical scholarship with keen pastoral perspective and the insights of a wise mentor, this commentary helps us read the scriptures with a Monday-through-Friday lens... Ill be recommending this commentary to seminarians, pastors, and fellow-workers all.”
Tod Bolsinger
PhD, Vice President for Vocation and Formation and Assistant Professor of Practical Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California
“When it comes to biblical teaching, the church today has an elephant-in-the-room problem. We spend the least amount of time addressing the very thing that people spend their waking hours doing the most: work. The result is that people assume the Bible doesnt address their actual lived experience. But it does, and between these pages you will find the resources to help you connect the dots between faith and work.”
Gregory Alan Thornbury
PhD, President, The Kings College, New York City
“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. ”
Andy Crouch
Executive Editor of Christianity Today and author of Culture Making and Playing God
“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
“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
“The design and layout are brilliant! Its easy to access material by subject and topic. Im impressed by the contributors and know others will feel inspired and encouraged by their collective wisdom, too.”

“This series is a magnificent contribution to one of the most neglected themes in Christian ethics... The conversation about faith and work is deeper and richer thanks to the Theology of Work Project.”
