Theology of Work Bible Commentary, Vol. 2: Joshua-Song of Songs

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. ”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
