“When we talk about contextualizing," says Dr. Clint Le Bruyns, "what we are doing theologically and in following Christ in and through the world of work, it’s really about being more inclusive . . . being able to open ourselves up to the fullness of the Body of Christ so that we hear a little bit more clearly what God might be saying through the worldwide Church of God.” 

In this interview with the Theology of Work Project, Dr. Le Bruyns provides some directives for the faith and work movement as it seeks to contextualize the gospel for different workplace contexts. Dr. Le Bruyns is Senior Lecturer in Theology and Development in the School of Religion and Theology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

In the talk, he also provides practical guidelines for developing a stable and secure family environment. 

Dr. Nicholi is well known for his book, The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.
