God at Work: Introducing Marketplace Theology
MARK 501
Course Description
The realities of work are being radically reshaped today, from the expansion of the gig economy to the rise of artificial intelligence. These dynamics complicate the questions many of us bring to our jobs: What difference does my work make? How do I act justly in a compromised system? Can I express my faith convictions with colleagues? How do I discern God’s calling in my life as it is? This course equips students to live out the answers by introducing marketplace theology, a practice of public reasoning about the human economy in light of God’s works. We begin from the conviction that God sustains, empowers, and governs human action in the world. We then explore the exciting opportunities, from the warehouse to the C-suite, to take part in God’s renewing purposes for all creation. This course is open to people from a wide variety of backgrounds who want to work faithfully and creatively wherever God has called them.
