Work and Our Labor in the Lord (Short Studies in Biblical Theology)

“This book may be short, but it is extremely rich. Hamilton is a surefooted guide to the scriptural material and provides a highly valuable and stimulating discussion of the entire sweep of the biblical theology of work.”

“There is no shortage of quality books on the connection between faith and work. But James Hamiltons Work and Our Labor in the Lord is in a class all its own: a thorough, yet concise, examination of the place of work in biblical theology. This is a must-read for all Christians.”

“If you want to fully grasp the depth of the biblical theology of work, you will not be disappointed by James Hamiltons short but powerful book. As he walks you through the biblical narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, you will develop a deeper appreciation of Gods plan for his redeemed images to truly flourish, both in this world and the world to come.”

“Peoples lives get turned upside down when they realize God cares intensely about their daily work. This short book walks us step by step through the big story of the Bible to show that Gods purpose for our daily labor is one of Scriptures deepest and most important themes.”

“The Bible has much more to say about work than we often think! Hamilton shows us just how central work is to the biblical storyline and Gods plan to fill the earth with his glory. This is a profound book that dives deep into the Scriptures yet remains highly accessible. There are surprising insights on almost every page. This is now one of the best books on the biblical view of work today.”

“Embracing a robust theology framed in the four-chapter narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, Jim Hamilton skillfully handles the scriptural texts, displaying how human work is a central thread in the biblical storyline. No matter the present depth of the readers understanding of the integration of faith and work, the insights gained will prove inspiring and transformational.”
