Stewart W. Herman is assistant professor in religion and liberal-arts studies at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota.

"Herman succeeds brilliantly in applying Christian faith to business ethics." —Religious Studies Review"This is a pioneering work of Christian ethics. Stewart Herman has opened up promising possibilities for a more realistic and hopeful ethical approach to the frequently conflictive relationships of working people and those who manage modern economic enterprises. His comprehensive and accurate portrayal of the history, concerns, and struggles of both employees and their employers, his insightful and helpful appropriation of biblical materials, his innovative and plausible theory of a covenantal ethic, and his scrupulous fairness, all commend this study to a wide readership. Union leaders, managers, pastors, executives of church-related social ministry and educational institutions, seminary professors and lay persons seeking guidance in their daily vocations, would all benefit from this outstanding study." —Trinity Seminary Review"This provocative and thoughtful text is a well-argued analysis of the history and embedded values of U.S. labor relations from the 19th century to the present. It stimulates the reader to think how management/employee relations might become truly free networks of interdependent human action wherein constituents bind themselves—despite the inevitable conflicts—to trust and respect each other and to pursue the firm's best interest." —Theological Studies"... a fine, even wonderful, book." —Journal of Lutheran Ethics"... Herman is to be recognized and commended for his genuine contribution to the credibility of any proposal for a covenantal business ethic." —Markets & Morality
