Beskrivning

Amidst the current economic and business realities, with high-pressure workplaces and simultaneous high unemployment, many Christian theologies of vocation seem unduly idealistic. Yet, as the West's desire for cheap consumer goods unleashes disturbing consequences across the globe, it is clear that our current vocational system poses major challenges to any moral case for prosperity. What would it really mean to think and act Christianly about our labor? Is it possible? In Good Work Esther Reed engagingly tackles these questions within a biblical framework, as she sketches a tangible and realistic theological ethic of work in the hope of God's coming kingdom.

The Future of Baptist Higher Education is an excellent collection of papers delivered at a national colloquium held at Baylor University that highlights the superb diversity of thought that exists within the Baptist higher education ranks. The book makes a contribution to the question, how shall Baptist colleges and universities preserve their heritage while providing leadership within the academy. --Bob R. Agee, Executive Director, Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools
