Faith and Work: ChristianResearch, Perspectives, andApplications

Religion continues to be a significant presence and impact on individuals, organizations, and society, despite secularism's attempts to disenfranchise it. Recent scholarship supports religion's role in personal identity, coping with suffering, social construction, historical perception, and culture, politics, and society. However, the role of religion in the workplace is still resisted by some scholars. This second volume of Faith and Work, Christian Perspectives, continues the work of the first volume, exploring Christian perspectives, research, and insights into the faith and work movement.

Religion continues to play a significant role in the global community, despite attempts to marginalize it through secularism. Recent scholarship across various academic disciplines continues to affirm the importance of religion in individuals' lives, organizations, and society. For instance, religion has been recognized as a fundamental aspect of personal identity, a means of coping with suffering, a driving force in social construction, and a dynamic force in historical perception. Moreover, religion has a lasting impact on culture, politics, and society. However, there are still scholars who question the role of religion in the workplace. Nevertheless, research on the impact of religion on societal, organizational, and individual life continues to expand, building upon the legacy of Weber. Scholars have explored the connections and manifestations of the world's religions in the workplace, with Christianity serving as a prominent example. Within Christianity, research has examined Catholic traditions, beliefs, and practices that shape workplace practices. Additionally, Protestant beliefs and practices within the workplace have gained attention. This second volume of Faith and Work, Christian Perspectives, follows the first volume published in 2018. Like its predecessor, this volume focuses on Christian perspectives, research, and insights into the faith and work movement. It delimitates research into three areas: individual, organizational, and societal dimensions. As with the first volume, this second volume includes scholarship from nationally and internationally recognized scholars.
