When approaching the Bible with a desire to develop a doctrine of work and vocation, Tom Nelson says the challenge is "not just to see what we already know, but to know what we see." For pastors and ministry professionals, it can be easy to rely on familiar assumptions about the Bible, especially regarding work. Rather than succumbing to these assumptions, however, Nelson advises us to be challenged anew by the character and work of God.
