Abstract
| embarked on the project with
the expectation that | would find an answer (yes, singular noun!) to the meaning of
work and how it can be reconciled with my understanding of who God is. To prepare
for this project and to develop the materials which would lead you through to the
same answer | had found, | commenced a program of reading about work and the
holiness of the ordinary. As | proceeded further into the topic, clarity was at an everreceding horizon. Ultimately, | was faced with the practical need to conclude my
coursework and put down on paper what | had come to learn. | never found the
answer. Instead, | found a view of the problem of faith and work which was as
manifold as there are men and women of faith who seek to know God. After having
struggled mightily for many months, these few pages emerged. | am most grateful to
you for the opportunity to have shared them with you.
