Comer opens by suggesting that most of us have never been taught a theology of work — and that this gap is costing us our sense of purpose and passion. Come ready to examine what you actually believe about work and why.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Before reading this book, how would you have answered the question: 'What are human beings here for?' How has the church you grew up in (or the broader culture) shaped that answer?
2.Comer challenges the common Christian assumption that what you do doesn't matter — only who you are does. Where have you heard that idea? Does it feel true to you? What's right about it, and what might be missing?
3.The book's title, Garden City, points to two images from Scripture: the Garden of Eden in Genesis and the City of God in Revelation. What do those two images stir up in you? What do you think Comer is suggesting by connecting them?
