Description

An examination of the topic of ?work? across the Hebrew Bible, comparing and contrasting it with ideas such as ?toil? and ?rest,? and considering its relationship to money, income, and value. Revisits traditional stewardship themes derived from the Old Testament, such as tithing, sabbath, and vocation, in light of current cultural and economic expectations around work. Course assignments involve exegetical analysis, self-reflection, and preparation for leading conversations in faith communities around biblical notions of labor and value.
