GROVE CITY, Pa. – Three Grove City College faculty members have been published in “A Noble Calling: Devotions and Essays for Business Professionals.” Drs. Shawn Ritenour and Jeff Herbener of the economics department and Dr. T. David Gordon of the religion department contributed essays to the devotional.
“A Noble Calling,” published by Wipf and Stock, is designed for business professionals facing the demands and challenges of the day-to-day workplace. According to editor Dr. David Whitlock, often individuals with a calling in the area of business feel that they should be serving God in a more direct manner. The devotional guide seeks to expel this belief, arguing that people in the business world can be among God’s most effective servants, since they often have a potential to impact and influence more people than those in full-time vocational ministries.
Whitlock was Ritenour’s colleague at Southwest Baptist University, where Ritenour taught before joining the Grove City College faculty. When Whitlock began soliciting material for “A Noble Calling,” he asked Ritenour to write an essay for the book. Ritenour said he “jumped at the chance,” since he has always sought to teach economics from a Christian worldview. His essay is titled “Economics: A Biblical Perspective.”
Ritenour encouraged Herbener and Gordon to submit pieces they had originally written at the outset of the entrepreneurship program at Grove City College. Herbener’s essay, titled “God’s Mandate and Entrepreneurship,” is an “analysis of the theology and economics of entrepreneurship.”
