"From the invention of the wheel to artificial intelligence, humans have always made tools to help with our work. But what happens when we are supplanted by our tools? As our society increasingly treats tools like humans and humans like tools, how should we think about ourselves?
In Irreplaceable, Gene Edward Veith Jr. and A. Trevor Sutton show how the Protestant doctrine of vocation addresses the many existential, ethical, and practical problems raised by emerging technology. Vocation is about much more than our jobs. It's about the life that the Lord has assigned us: our relationships, commitments, and everyday activities. Far more than a mere 'work ethic,' vocation is the theology of how God works through human beings in love and service to their neighbors. The doctrine of vocation still applies in our technological age—perhaps now more than ever. While developments in technology always bring new questions, God's callings on our lives remain.
A robust understanding of vocation has the power to save the future of work. This timely book helps you think through the role technology should play in your life—at home, at church, and in wider society—and brings clarity, purpose, and hope to all entering this brave new world of emerging technology."
"Veith explores and presents a true understanding of justification by faith, the means of grace, vocation, theology of the cross, the two kingdoms, worship, and the church.
This is a revised edition of the original text written in 1999. This revised edition contains an updated bibliography, useful clarifications, and some new material."
"The Soul of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will transport listeners into the heart of the Chronicles of Narnia. Listeners will discover that Narnia is more than just a magical place—it is a story reflective of the world we live in, our human condition, and our need for a Savior. Written in popular style for a broad audience of Christians and non-Christians, youthful and old, this audio book will answer the soul-stirring question of the movie and the novel."
