We’re pleased to announce that the Theology of Work Bible Commentary is now freely available online at Bible Gateway!

Browse the Theology of Work Bible Commentary table of contentsWork is important. It gives us an outlet for our skills and talents. It can earn money. But there’s much more to the idea of work than simply earning a paycheck or feeling productive! The work we do is an expression of who we are—which means that if you’re a Christian, your work is an expression of your understanding of who you are in Christ. That’s important!

And that’s why the Theology of Work Bible Commentary is so useful. It’s a massive, comprehensive exploration of the theme of work all throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation. Vetted by a team of respected scholars, it looks at what each book of the Bible has to teach us about what we should be doing, and how we should be doing it. Along the way, it addresses all kinds of practical questions and challenges that we’ve all run into at some point in our jobs and careers: how do I know what God is calling me to do with my life? How should I deal with unexpected problems (or problem people) at work? Can and should I work with people who don’t share my faith and values? And what if I’m unemployed?
