Vocation and the Politics of Work: Popular Theology in a Consumer Culture

by Jeffrey Scholes

This book surveys the theological and cultural appropriations of the Protestant concept of vocation in order to argue for a vocation that has political traction in modern workplaces. It uniquely brings together insights from recent works in political theology and consumer culture studies along with analyses of self-help literature to accomplish this task.
