Keller (2014) 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).
The different Christian traditions “give somewhat different answers of how we should go about
the task of recapturing vocation. The streams are often confusing to Christians, for they are not
perfectly complementary to one another” (Keller, 2014, p. 21).
