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 readers 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.
