Endeavour: God and knowledge jobs

The current economic era has given us fresh impulses and new ways to stigmatise work such as farming and caring for children - jobs that supposedly are not "knowledge" jobs and therefore do not pay very well.  But in Genesis we see God as a gardener, and in the New Testament we see him as a carpenter.  No task is too small a vessel to hold the immense dignity of work given by God.

Keller, ...Endeavour..., p49
