Those who adhere to a faith tradition are longing for theories and
insights into how they can be true to their faith within the
workplace and yet be sensitive and respectful to others of varying
faith commitments and beliefs. Yet for Christians, respect of other
faith traditions is especially difficult since Christianity as the
dominate religion has become secularized and institutionalized
within the workplace as represented in holidays and days off.
Within the multiple theoretical and research dimensions of
management, religion and spirituality, this book explores
theoretical, conceptual and strategic theories and research which
consider how individuals and organizations integrate their
Christian faith in the workplace, and how these groups attempt to
change society as a whole. This historical movement is
characterized by a desire for people to live a holistic life which
integrates their Christian faith into the workplace, also deemed
"faith at work". Historically, Christian's faith integration is
manifested individually or collectively and is demonstrated in the
ways it shapes and informs the values systems, ethics, character
and attitudes towards work. This edited volume draws themes out of
the three historical epochs of the faith and work movement traced
by Miller (2007) in the book, God at work: The history and promise
of the faith at work movement. These organizing themes, while not
congruent to the historical epochs, do capture the ways in which
people of faith have historically attempted to integrate their
faith into the workplace. These themes include: Individual
integration, organizational strategies for integration and societal
integration.
