Reviews

'It matters that the work we do is meaningful, excellent, and beautiful. Jeremy Kidwell's biblically informed theology of craft and analyses of the negative impact of modern labour practices on human well-being invite re-examination of the very foundations of our conceptions of work. Drawing attention to how, in the ancient world, the place of worship was the place of craft-work par excellence, Kidwell revisits creatively the notion of consecration for describing the relationship between work and worship. Innovative and wide-ranging, this is an important new contribution to the theology of work, and wider questions of what's entailed in being human.' Esther D. Reed, University of Exeter, UK 'Jeremy Kidwell has offered us an exemplary performance of Christian ethics done in an exegetical key. Going far beyond most of what passes as business ethics or theologies of work , Kidwell delves deep and sensitively into both the problems and promise of work in an information age.' Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen, UK

Author Information

"The Revd Dr Jeremy H. Kidwell (MCS, Ph.D, Theological Ethics, University of Edinburgh) serves as Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the School of Divinity at the University ofa Edinburgh. He lectures in Christian Ethics, the Ethics of Work, Technology and Design and Environmental Ethics, and is currently involved in full-time research on an interdisciplinary research project focussed on Christian responses to climate change, titled ""Caring For the Future Through Ancestral Time."" Dr Kidwell's research is engaged primarily with Christian ethics, the environment and political theology. His most recent work, a co-edited volume ""Theology and Economics: a Christian Vision of the Common Good"" (2015) brings together constructive reflections from Christian theologians and economists across the UK, USA and Europe and is the result of a two year collaboration. Prior to his academic work, Jeremy worked as an technician and trainer in telecommunications and information technology and he continues to provide consulting services on network security, infrastructure, and the use of information technology in teaching and learning. This experience in the marketplace provided the impetus for this book and motivated the research behind it."
