商品簡介
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.
