For centuries, work remained on the back burner of theological thinking,
often making appearances only in negative references. Though men and women have
always struggled to find God's perspective on work and working, seldom have
their results been recorded in a way that made them accessible across cultures
and down through to future generations. Even when great Christian thinkers
throughout the centuries have written about work, most of their efforts have
been lost, or find themselves consigned to the dusty corners of libraries in
obscure texts, waiting for the moment when their truths capture the attention
and imagination of a new set of readers.
Meanwhile, generation after
generation of workers and the people seeking to equip them have been forced to
re-discover those timeless principles on their own. Now, perhaps for the first
time in human history, technology, worker interest and scholarly expertise have
merged, making 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.
Our prayer for this project is
to achieve both timely discoveries that are useful to workers in all cultures in
all fields right now, and to record those timely discoveries for future
generations. We also seek to discover timeless truths; principles unfettered by
the circumstances of the work or worker; truths upon which bedrock research may
be rested, and upon which workers may rely in making life and vocational
decisions.
We cordially invite you to join us for the journey

Mr. Thomas Phillips,
