The Heavenly Good of Earthly Work by Darrell Cosden
Shows that our ordinary human work has eternal, heavenly value. Is ordinary work the primary way that people can participate in the God's mission to make all things new? What is the heavenly good of earthly work? In this book Darrell Cosden takes us on a spiritual and theological journey of discovery exploring these questions. Creatively, constructively, and sometimes provocatively, he shows us that the heavenly good of earthly work really makes the gospel good news for ordinary people by offering the possibility of a genuinely purpose-full Christian life. 'This is cutting-edge theology of the highest order. (It)... makes a vital contribution to the ongoing search for a new paradigm of the Christian mission in the twenty-first century.' Dr. David Smith, International Christian College, Glasgow 'Surprising, substantial, thoroughly informed, clear, and readable ... a premier resource for understanding work in Christian perspective.' William Messenger Publisher.
Darrell Cosden (PhD at St Andrews University) was Lecturer in Theology and Ethics at the International Christian College in Glasgow from 1999-2007, and now teaches at Judson University, Elgin IL. His creative and stretching approaches to teaching have inspired students to have a passion for theology, and to make the connections between that theology and people's day to day lives, as do his books The Heavenly Good of Earthly Work and A Theology of Work: Work and the New Creation both published by Paternoster.
