What does the Bible have to say about work? This one-of-a-kind Bible resource answers that very question.
The Theology of Work Bible Commentary is an in-depth Bible study tool put together by a group of Bible scholars and business-people. The content is from TheologyofWork.org, and has never before been in print. It reveals what the Bible says about all kinds of work and offers insight from every single book of the Bible. This first volume of the multi-volume series covers Matthew through Acts, and other volumes should be expected in 2015.
Pastors will find these volumes helpful as they consider the Bible's perspective on work when teaching on particular passages or topics. Professors may use the commentary to help prepare classes or as a textbook for students. Laypeople may find practical help for workplace decisions, or they may read it as part of their personal or group Bible study.
"Did you ever wonder what your work has to do with your faith? The short answer is everything, and now you can read all about it in this Theology of Work Bible Commentary, now in print for the first time. Heartily recommended."
Eric MetaxasNew York Times best-selling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
"This commentary was written exactly for those of us who aim to integrate our faith and work on a daily basis and is an excellent reminder that God hasn't called the world to go to church, but has called the Church to go to the world."

"There are many popular books on the doctrine of work and a few on the theology of work. But this is the first to investigate the biblical text book by book in order to glean insights into work from God's perspective...This book helps Christian workers to relate their labor to God and thereby make their work holy and meaningful."
Bruce Waltke
Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Regent College
"This series is a magnificent contribution to one of the most neglected themes in Christian ethics. Avoiding the easy anachronism of finding a few proof texts that might apply to modern work, the authors let the distinctive voices and broader themes of Scripture illuminate our working life. The conversation about faith and work is deeper and richer thanks to the Theology of Work Project."
