What Others are Saying...
"I’ve been searching for specific, practical material like this that can actually equip people for the places they serve God, where they work. This is an answer to prayer.”
-Rev. Dr. Ray Hammond,
Pastor Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Boston
"The
Theology of Work Project is one of the most exciting and promising
research projects I’ve seen in years. Few topics are more important and
few research teams are more impressive. Thoughtful workplace folk,
business leaders, pastors, teachers, and writers --- all will find the
commentaries, essays, and reader responses at this site of inestimable
value.”

"When I first became CEO of the Toro Company, I wanted to build a leadership model with my management team that was consistent with biblical principles of leadership and work. I wish that the Theology of Work Project’s findings had been available as it would have been an excellent resource to use in building our company’s values and leadership attributes."

What if you really believed in changing the world? Where would you start? That question prods people of conscience in any culture; and Christians are no exception.Now, perhaps for the first time in human history, technology, worker interest and scholarly expertise have merged to make possible the exploration and recording of a comprehensive body---a theology---of Scripture's timeless truths and the timely application of those truths into working cultures everywhere. Following the path first laid out by the field of missions and missionary endeavors in the Lausanne Covenant, we begin this journey with an earnest desire to expand our knowledge of how God would have us do our daily tasks. We invite you to join us on this trek.
