The call to humans of multiply and have dominion, that's a broad calling that all humans have before the fall. Nothing else in all creation reflects the glory of God like humans do. We don't start our theology with Genesis three. We throw out with Genesis one and two, which means that work is not a curse and all kinds of work are good. That's really important just to say because we're not dualists.
When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
