9781619709553: Connecting Faith and Work in the 21st Century

Synopsis

Where are we now? And what is left to be done?




 

In October 2014, a group of people passionate about what the Bible says regarding work gathered together in Boston at the first Faith@Work Summit to connect the idiosyncrasies between “work life” and “Christian life,” exploring how faith can be integrated into work.  A product of that summit, this study guide includes overviews of the talks, links to 16-minute videos, and study questions for small group discussion. An extensive bibliography for further study is also included.


 

Topics covered include:

Foundations of faith and work

Equipping Christians to integrate their faith and work

Perspectives from different workplaces

Forces affecting our work

“Pioneer tributes”
