God at Work: Introducing Marketplace Theology
David Robinson

What difference does my work make? How do I act justly in a compromised system? Can I express my faith convictions with colleagues? How do I discern God’s calling in my life as it is? This course equips students to live out the answers by introducing marketplace theology, a practice of public reasoning about the human economy in light of God’s works.
