THEOLOGY OF WORK: Work, Calling and Human Dignity
An MBA Zoom-based Online Learning Course
Schedule: October 19-29, 2020
Course Description:
Work occupies a major portion of life. Do we live to work, or do we work to live? What is the meaning and purpose of work? This course explores the biblical and theological perspectives of work, calling, and human dignity. The approach taken is BIBLICAL – surveying what the Word of God says about work and its place in God’s purpose for human life and creation; CONTEXTUAL – understanding how world-views and specific cultures affect one’s work ethic and provide both points of content and prophetic challenges; INTEGRATIVE – exploring how work is related to human dignity, calling, faith, ministry, mission, and the phenomenon of globalization; and THEOLOGICAL – undertaking the understanding of, and practice of work in the light of the timeless Word of God and the contemporary situation. Having a solid theology of work is an essential foundation for leaders building organizations to impact social needs while seeking integration in their lives and relationships.
