Toward coherence -- ch. 6. Rethinking Christian vocation -- ch. 7. A moral theology for work -- ch. 8. A workplace awakening -- ch. 9. The church's potential.
In this book John C. Knapp argues that the church's ambiguous teachings about vocation, money, and business have long contributed to Christians' uncertainty about discipleship in the workplace. Drawing on his own expertise in business ethics and numerous interviews with Christians in diverse occupations, Knapp offers a new theological framework for Christian life in the world of business. --from publisher description
