Overview
Renowned New Testament scholar Gordon Fee explores the meaning of Christian witness and service in every area of life. Focusing on the implications of every Christian’s calling to belong to Christ, Fee reframes our contemporary quest for a more seamless, integrated faith. His careful examination of the context and message of Paul’s letters sheds light on how a Christian identity is lived out in home, workplace, and church.
- Provides a detailed analysis of the context of Paul’s writing
- Explores the patron-client system, the household, and the values of the ancient world
- Taken from a series of lectures at the Regent College Pastors Conference in 2002
- Foreword by R. Paul Stevens
- Think of What You Were: Paul and the Concept of Vocation
- Submit to One Another: Paul on the Household, Church, and Workplace
- With Your Own Hands: Paul’s Countercultural Approach to Work
- Living Sacrifices: The Ministry of Christ’s Body in the World
Drawing on Paul’s insights in a very different culture, Gordon Fee applies these insights practically and powerfully for our lives today. He makes Paul’s message easy to understand, and its challenge all the more relevant for us today

I have long believed Gordon Fee’s writing pen bleeds gold ink. He proves himself again a master biblical interpreter, incisive theologian, and passionate teacher. Pastors will benefit greatly from Fee’s many insights on vocation, work, and ministry, but his reflections here are relevant to all believers.
