David W. Miller

In God at Work, David W. Miller looks at how the Faith at Work movement developed and considers its potential value for business and society. Drawing on the insights of theological ethics as well as the sociology of religion, Miller analyzes the history of the modern day Faith at Work movement from its roots in the late 19th century to its modern formulation and trajectory. He examines the diversity of its members and modes of expression, and constructs a new framework for understanding, interpreting, and critiquing the movement and its future. Miller concludes that workers and professionals desire to live a holistic life, to integrate the claims of their faith with the demands of their work. He documents the abdication of this field by church and theological academy and its embrace, by the management academy. Offering evidence of the depth and breadth of spirituality at work, Miller concludes that faith at work is a bona fide social movement and here to stay. He establishes the importance of this movement, identifies the possibilities and problems, and points toward future research questions.--From publisher's description.
