Moving beyond the typical focus on professional and creative classes in faith-and-work discussions, Adam Gustine brings the concerns of working-class laborers, hourly employees, and unpaid workers into the center of theological reflection. Drawing from Scripture and Christian ethics, this book reveals a God who is passionately pro-worker—a God who hears the cries of the marginalized and desires a world where every person's skill and calling serve the good of all. Gustine challenges listeners to see work not merely as an individual vocation but as a communal and structural reality tied to the pursuit of justice and the common good. Ideal for professors and students, A Working Theology of Labor provides a vital framework for courses in theology, ethics, business, and vocation. It will also appeal to anyone seeking to integrate faith, work, and justice in everyday life.Mostra libro

Understanding God’s Righteousness through His Final Judgment of Sin The reality of God’s ultimate punishment is central to the gospel. Only by facing sin’s devastation can believers fully grasp the beauty of their salvation and help unbelievers confront their need for forgiveness. Unfortunately, many Christians and Bible scholars neglect God’s final judgment. In his book The Justice and Goodness of God, theologian Thomas Schreiner offers a comprehensive, biblical analysis of eternal destruction. Explaining that “final judgment doesn’t contradict God’s goodness but verifies and displays it,” he examines themes of sin, death, and redemption in the New Testament and other passages of Scripture. With helpful personal and theological application, this brief guide helps readers see how God’s judgment is anchored in his holiness, justice, and righteousness. Readers will see that God’s judgment isn’t bad news but good news. Life doesn’t make sense without it, and salvation shines brighter against the backdrop of God’s judgment.Mostra libro
