Discussion Thread: Introducing HR and Christian Worldview

Keller’s big-picture thinking relative to work in God’s world (Chapters 1–4) can be interpreted as follows:

  • Design —God designed humans to work;
  • Dignity —work gives humans dignity;
  • Cultivation —God continues to “create” through the work of humans;
  • Service —humans love God and neighbor through work.

1.) What is your response to Keller’s big-picture thinking?

2.) How does this resonate with Hardy’s introductory thoughts?

3.) What are 3 related implications for the role of human resources (HR) as a strategic function in any business (Valentine Chapters 1–2)?
