Keller and Alsdorf (2012) states, “We must love our neighbor, but Christianity gives us very specific teachings about human nature and what makes human beings flourish. We must make sure that our work is done in line with these understandings. Faithful work, then, is to operate out of a Christian Worldview” (p. 21).

Every Good Endeavor Reflection: Shareholder Theory & Biblical Perspectives of Generosity
Reflection:
Keller and Alsdorf’s assertion that “the way to serve God at work is to make as much money as you can, so that you can be as generous as you can” is a provocative one.
