Theology of Work Bible Commentary Articles
- The Kingdom of God Shows Up at Work (Luke 1-5) - If it seems strange for God to announce his plan to save the world in the midst of two workplaces, it might seem even stranger that he introduces Jesus with a job description.
- God Creates the World (Genesis 1:1-2:3) - Genesis is incomparably significant for the theology of work because it tells the story of God’s work of creation, the first work of all and the prototype for all work that follows.
- God’s Presence in Our Struggles at Work (Psalm 23) - This passage is a reminder to see our work from God’s perspective—not primarily as an instrument for our gratification, but as our part in God’s mission in the world.
