Synopsis

The Short Studies in Biblical Theology series is designed to help readers see the whole Bible as a unified story—culminating in Jesus.

The third volume in the series, Work and Our Labor in the Lord explores how work fits into the framework of the whole Bible—looking at the original creation purpose for work, how it was affected by the fall, and the hope for lasting good offered to all who toil and labor in the Lord today.
