THE WORKMAN

Joseph P. Thompson, a Congregational pastor and social reformer, wrote ‘The Workman’ to elevate the dignity of honest labour and to expose the sins that corrode the employer-employee relationship. With biblical insight he discusses fair wages, Sabbath rest, truthful advertising, and the evangelisation of the shop-floor. The book is both a theological treatise and a practical manual, showing that the gospel is big enough to sanctify business as well as bedrooms. A neglected classic that speaks powerfully to today’s faith-and-work movement.
