It can be challenging to understand the place of one’s faith in any occupation. The working world presents us with conflicting values and materialistic motivations. In the legal profession more than most, the Christian is prone to confusion, compromise, or discouragement.
Cochran’s book has been written to address the Christian lawyer’s calling, and our most recent issue of Ethics in Conversation hosts David McIlroy’s review.
While non-lawyers may choose to skip the full book version, we encourage everyone to engage with McIlroy’s review. His discussion of Cochran’s work is itself a brief-but-compelling model for Christian thinking about vocation that any working person should find valuable.
