JUST THE JOB : Christians Talk About Work and Vocation
Field, David, & Elspeth Stepheson
InterVarsity Press, 1978
127 pages

The authors conducted interviews with Christians in bricklaying, engineering, homemaking, church work, sales, surgical care, broadcasting, teaching, scientific research, social work, computers and art. Respective chapters are devoted to reflections on each vocation with an emphasis on the ways in which Christian convictions inform the life of the worker. Field introduces the book with a very helpful nineteen-page theology of work. (For information on a similar survey of marketplace testimonies see Gregory F. A. Pierce’s Of Human Hands.)
