What is the spiritual meaning of work in our lives? If you won GBP1m in the TV game-show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Would you go into work the following Monday morning? Is work something irksome that must be endured so that we may eat, enjoy quality leisure time, and retire as early as possible? Is it more integral to personal identity and one of the blessings of God's creation? The twin problems of today's 'high-pressure, burn-out' workplaces and unemployment make some Christian theologies of vocation seem idealistic. The global implications of the West's lust for cheap consumer goods pose major challenges to any moral case for prosperity. In Work, for God's Sake Esther Reed tackles these questions within a biblical framework, and sketches a theological ethic of work in the hope of God's coming kingdom.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This is an enjoyable book, written in an accessible and engaging style. I particularly enjoy Reed’s use of everyday examples to illustrate deeper theological points – something that has been carried over from the lecture series on which this volume is based. What has also been carried over is the occasional tenuous connection between Church life and the world of work, and readers might find this irksome. That said, there are great riches in this book, and one’s thinking about work and faith is deepened by reading it.
